Pro Tip & Perpétue Steel Maintenance: The Perpétue Single Table Knife represents Opinel's highest tier of low-maintenance durability. Thanks to its entirely seamless all-stainless steel construction, it is 100% dishwasher compatible, making clean-up at the end of a dinner party completely effortless. To ensure it preserves its beautiful mirror-satin sheen for a lifetime, avoid washing it in the same cycle alongside rusty cast-iron skillet cookware, as free-floating iron molecules can deposit onto stainless finishes. For the absolute best results, utilise a standard non-abrasive detergent, remove the knife promptly once the drying cycle is complete, and wipe it down briefly with a soft microfibre towel before placing it into your cutlery drawer!

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.
