Fixed blades, folding knives, and tools are useful in a wide variety of applications and circumstances, and while uses and applications for each blade and tool may vary, a general rule for most is “Don’t use it to pry.” It is certainly tempting to do so, given that they are an ideal size and shape for prying, however, a blade is designed specifically to cut and hold an edge. The metallurgy of the blade and design of the pivot on a folding knife and multi-tool isn’t suitable to be leveraged laterally and will break when enough force is applied. Additionally, the surface can be damaged and scratched by the material it is pushed against. It’s best to leave prying to crow bars and screwdrivers, as signs of prying may void your warranty.
Folding knives are designed to be portable utility tools and are made primarily for cutting and puncturing. While the abilities of your knife may vary by design and size, general guidelines do not recommend using your folding knife for throwing, chopping, or pounding and those tasks can weaken or break your knife's locking mechanism and pivot.
Broken handles on fixed blades cannot be repaired and will be replaced with the same item or closest equivalent.
Knives determined by usto be counterfeit are excluded from coverage under this warranty.
Any knife that is modified from its original shipped condition will void the warranty.
