Meaning if you take it apart and break it, your fault. But the warranty isn't void if you take it apart, like BM's policy.
 
Ask Sal what the policy is but remember this, bottom line it's their option and if you use the wrong tools and leave tool marks on the screws or you strip a screw cause you don't know how to break Loc-Tite, they can choose to say you voided your warranty.

Remember it says disassembly not disassembly with out breakin' anything, I don't know your mechanical background or what tools you have access to but I'm sure you wouldn't have asked the question if you were that confident.

If you have any doubts I wouldn't touch it, use cotton swabs, cotton string and pipe cleaners to clean with, you'd be amazed at how much you could do.:)

I figured that it meant if you took it apart and broke something.

Personally, I only take apart knives I know how to put back together, or that I feel need it. I stripped my Chinook and was amazed at how much gunk I got out of it. Felt like a brand new knife afterwards.

Millies and Para's, along with most other pillar constructed knives I generally just flush with warm water if it's getting gunky. Works wonders. :thumbup:
