esee warranty question

[Lost Cosmonaut]

We'll see how long their "no questions" warrantee lasts with people cutting their knives in half just to request a new one. It's the same reason there are so many laws in this great country; people can't do the right thing unless someone makes them.

I would think that if you modify your knife, and it fails for a reason that has nothing to do with your "modification" that they would warranty the blade. Just my opinion.

OP...just look at this thread thus far and you will see why ESEE puts up these "stipulations". Mike is an honest, no nonsense guy who stands behind his product, but will call out a person that cuts their knife in half, just for ______ & giggles. Etching and stripping is one of the most common modifications to an ESEE knife and I've never seen a thread showcasing a damaged ESEE from this. Just don't go around, purposely trying to destroy goods because that will infuriate ANY company when you ask for a replacement.

They've still replaced knives in situations where I would hesitate to do so. That said, they usually do call out stupidity on the forums, so if you warranty for your own boneheaded stupidness (or maliciousness), they'll probably cover you, but don't be surprised if your example shows up on the ESEE forums (anonymously) for everyone to poke fun at.
