Pro Tip & Carbon Steel Care: High-carbon steel is highly favored by outdoor purists because it achieves a significantly sharper edge than conventional stainless steel and is much easier to hone in the field. However, carbon steel is susceptible to moisture and will naturally develop a beautiful, dark grey oxidation patina from contact with acidic foods and damp wilderness environments—this natural finish is completely normal and shields the underlying steel! To prevent structural rust, never clean this knife in a dishwasher or leave it wet. Simply hand-wash the blade, wipe it completely dry immediately after use, and apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or camellia oil to the steel and pivot pin to ensure your traditional pocket folder performs flawlessly for generations.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

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.
