Does anodizing the handle void it warranty

[Dr sharp]

I was wondering if chris reeve voids warranties if you do custom work?

 

[DaveH]

yes. not that I know by personal experience, but from what Anne has posted here.

I'm sure it does. However... for me it was too much of pure fun to care about warranty. I doubt I'd ever need it with Sebenza

 

[Geode]

Yes (99% sure). Any changes made to the handle voids the warranty.

I doubt it. The reality is, the anodizing has negligible effect on the thickness of handle and should not affect the pivot action. Coating the blade on the other hand, affects the width of the blade and according to earlier posts by Chris, did void the warranty on the product. (Reference Roberston Custom Cutlery doing aftermarket black coating on Sebenza blades.
