Good morning all,
This one is just to fire the discussion and a bit of friendly trolling.
I just read the Himalayan Imports-Limited Lifetime Warranty and was very pleased until reading this:
Bone - As Bone can be as hard as rock in many cases, H.I. khukuri are not warranted for chopping thru bone.
If you must dress an animal, it is best to use the right tool (such as a hatchet or saw) or to pry the joint apart.
Despite the name Bonecutter, it is not warranted for chopping thru bone.
Ok... This is looking for trouble.
Especially when looking at advertising pictures coming from an authoritative source
I don't know about the rest of the world but in my neck of the woods, HI would have two options if someone damage his Bonecutter while trying to cut bones.
1- Replace it under warranty... Even if the warranty says you can't cut bones. Considering the cost and trouble of option #2, companies will typically opt for this one and tweak their advertising material accordingly.
or
2) Get sued for false advertising.
BTW, I'm seriously considering getting one of those and I have absolutely no intent to test the above. This thread is only Food for thoughts...
