Pro Tip & Care Guidance: The N°313 Essentiels+ serrated model represents a massive leap in daily kitchen convenience; because the fine micro-serrations cut cleanly without requiring constant pressure, this knife retains its high slicing efficiency far longer than a traditional straight-edge knife. While its advanced fibre-reinforced polymer handle is fully certified for dishwasher use, hand washing is still a great practice to protect the fine serrated teeth from clinking against other metal cookware. Simply rinse with warm, soapy water after use, dry with a soft towel, and store safely in a knife block or drawer dock to keep it performing flawlessly!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
