WARRANTY


- I guarantee my work to perform its intended & designed purpose. I only accept returns on pieces that do not stand up to the previous statement or have a manufacturers defect present (e.g. cold shut or delamination in a Damascus piece. Loose fittings or broken handle components)

- If a blade failure occurs the knife can be returned for assessment as to whether it can be covered under my warranty policy. Return shipping will be paid for by the buyer. This applies to all my knives and pieces


I Do Not Accept Returns for Abused or Neglected Knives

- Some examples of abused or neglected pieces are

· Rusting

· Extreme use/testing (e.g. batoning, chopping, prying or bending)

· Using this knife as an axe. Knives are not axes they are knives. If you are thinking of using a knife as an axe think again. Knives are not meant for prying, digging, hammering, being hammered or as a screwdriver. Using the right tool for the job will get you better results and help avoid damage to your tools. It is good to remember that a knife is not always the right tool for the job and to respect that fact as such.

· Splitting or chopping bone and or other hard materials

· Intentionally or accidently broken pieces.

What are knives meant for?

· The answer to this should be obvious but in today’s knife world where the big thing is "abuse testing" in which knives are put through unnatural or extreme use I can understand how some might not truly be able to comfortably answer this question after the afore stated conditions of misuse. So I will answer it myself. Knives are meant for cutting. Cutting, slicing and puncturing. Yes some knives are designed with "chopping" in mind (even some of mine e.g. a chopper) and some can even comfortably baton, but at large the whole reason as well as purpose for their design is to cut, slice and or puncture. If you want to baton I would recommend you buy a froe. If you want to chop, buy an axe. Both the afore state tools were specifically designed to perform their respectively stated tasks.


Chopping knives

- I do make and sell knives that are called choppers. Stipulations for knives such as these are as follows.

· Chopping is for wood and soft materials only.

· Chopping is a dangerous activity and as such edge damage or chipping can occur with use or with hitting something that is exceptionally hard. e.g. stone, metal, nails or other hard substances.

· I do not recommend chopping down trees as the shock & hard use could create damage (seen or unseen) over time.


Artistic and Historical Recreational Pieces

- Swords, daggers, and artistic expression pieces

· Pieces such as these (swords, daggers, and art pieces) are created solely for artistic, historical and recreational enjoyment.

· Abuse of these pieces (swinging them into trees. Chopping, prying, bending, digging or other unintended uses) is not covered under the warranty policy.

Kitchen knives and cutlery

- Chef's knives, utility, paring & steak knives and all other kitchen knives and cutlery.

· Kitchen knives and tools are to be respected and used for their designed purpose, to cut, slice and puncture food. Using kitchen knives and or tools for anything other than their designed purpose (to cut food) voids their warranty.

· "Chopping" with a kitchen knife refers to a rocking motion on the cutting board (with a minor exception in some cases when referring to chopping with a cleaver) that maintains continuous or almost continuous contact with it. Using a kitchen knife to "chop" with a swinging motion (raising it above the cutting board and swinging it down onto the food) like one would with an axe is not wise and voids the warranty policy.

· Do not use a kitchen knife as a heavy duty meat cleaver. Use a heavy duty meat cleaver as a heavy duty meat cleaver. Using the correct tool for the job will help you achieve better results without damaging your tools.

· There are different types of cleavers. Slicing cleavers and "chopping" cleavers. It is important to understand the difference when purchasing and using one. If you have a sharp cleaver there is no need to violently or harshly chop (swinging motion) through bone or food.

· Failures of any kind caused by negligence, dropping, unintended use or misuse of my kitchen knives and or tools is not covered under the warranty policy.
