Pro Tip & Collector Set Preservation: To ensure your premium Collector Set maintains its pristine presentation value and mechanical smoothness for a lifetime, always give the knives simple, mindful care. Even though the European stainless steel blades are highly rust-resistant, the natural beechwood handles should never be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher. If a knife is used for camp cooking or trail picnics, simply hand-wash the blade section with warm, soapy water, wipe it completely dry with a clean towel immediately, and let it air out before folding it closed. A very light drop of food-safe mineral oil applied to the wood handles and the metal pivot pins will enrich the natural timber depth, prevent ambient moisture damage, and keep the folding mechanisms operating smoothly for generations!

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.
