Key Features

• The Core Culinary Trinity: Strategically compiles the **N°118 Chef's Knife, N°120 Carving Knife, and N°126 Paring Knife**—equipping your kitchen station to conquer greater than 95% of all daily slicing, dicing, and trimming tasks.

• Premium X50CrMoV15 Stainless Steel: Every blade in this collection is forged from an elite single piece of European high-carbon steel, enriched with chrome to ensure professional-grade rigidity, high mechanical resistance, and superb anti-corrosive performance.

• Ergonomic Parallèle Design: Crafted with soft, clean, and minimalist lines, the handles are engineered to follow the natural geometry of your hand, providing a remarkably comfortable grip and excellent tactile control during long cooking sessions.

• Exquisite Timber Variants: Elevate your countertop aesthetic with a choice of two stunning timber handle options—the timeless, fine-grained durability of traditional **Beechwood**, or the deeply characterful, swirling grain of luxury Mediterranean **Olive Wood**.

Set Inclusions & Ideal Uses

• N°118 Multi-Use Chef's Knife (20 cm Blade): The heavy-duty workhorse of the set. Features a wide, rigid profile optimized for large-scale ingredient processing, splitting dense root vegetables, dicing onions, and rhythmically mincing fresh garden herbs.

• N°120 Precision Carving Knife (16 cm Blade): Engineered with a narrower, nimble blade geometry designed specifically for slicing clean, uniform portions of roasted poultry, slicing through flank steaks, or neatly trimming fat caps off pork loins.

• N°126 Precise Paring Knife (8 cm Blade): The ultimate detailed prep tool. Perfect for close-up hand work, such as hulling strawberries, coring apples, deveining prawns, or creating delicate decorative garnishes for charcuterie boards.

Pro Tip & Care Guidance: To preserve the original structural integrity, rich timber depth, and mechanical longevity of these premium wood handles, always avoid the dishwasher and never leave your knives submerged in a wet kitchen sink. Simply hand-wash the stainless steel blades with warm, soapy water after meal prep, wipe them completely dry immediately with a soft towel, and store them safely away on a magnetic knife strip or block. An occasional light coat of food-safe mineral oil on the beech or olive wood handles will keep this heirloom culinary set performing flawlessly for a lifetime!

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.
