Pro Tip & Néo7 Care: The Néo7 Alpine is built to be a low-maintenance, high-efficiency tool in the most challenging mountain environments on earth. Because the OPIFLEX® non-locking system relies on smooth, calibrated internal friction tension rather than a moving mechanical collar, keeping the pivot area free of heavy debris is key to preserving its flawless factory feel. After returning from a gritty rock climb or a wet ski tour, simply rinse the knife thoroughly under warm tap water to flush away trapped dust, sweat, or moisture from inside the handle channel. Wipe the blade down with a soft towel and store it dry. Avoid lubricating the friction track with heavy automotive grease; instead, a single drop of light, dry-film lubricant will keep the action feeling crisp, fluid, and ready for your next summit push!

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.
