I bet the warranty will be voided on most knives if you disassemble it, but how can they know?

is it just so people wont pick their knives apart, and having to send it in to be assembled?

Yep. Even Strider tells people not to take their knives apart now.

Some folks have no business taking things apart. They know just enough to get themselves into trouble. When you do this, the person that has to fix your knife, has to stop whatever they were doing (usually making knives) to correct your mistake. Some companies will charge you a fee to reassemble it. A warranty covers materials and craftsmanship. Craftsmanship is the term used to define the process of assembling your knife in the first place.

Actually they can tell. Have you ever seen a high magnification camera? Use them all the time.

they dont have the time or want to use the effort to do that to every single thing u send in for repair... maybe if you send back a 500$ knife but for any normal production knife its cheaper easier and makes satisfied customers to just fix or replace it if its not obviously abused.
