Kershaw Customer Service Question

[Nessmuk901]

Since Kershaw doesnt have a sub forum I guess I'll ask my question here. Does anyone have any experience with sending knives back to Kershaw for maintenance? I have a Kershaw Leek going on 15 years old and has handled everything I've thrown at it. I love it and it has been one of my go to EDC's since I've owned it. I'm not sure when or how it happened but the tip has accrued a small barely noticeable bend to it through hard use. Will Kershaw repair it or replace the blade should it become a problem? I would be willing to pay to have it repaired or replaced even if warranty had expired or wont cover it.

The best thing is to call KAI to find out if they’ll do any service on a 15 year old knife.
If you do a search for Kershaw knives, it will bring you to the KAI homepage. At the bottom of the page is a link to contacting them. There is also a form for sending a knife in for service

I have had good experiences with their customer service, but have no experience or insight if they would replace your blade for a fee.

In my best guess: since this is not a defect, the knife is quite old, and it’s also a inexpensive tool I would guess they won’t be able to help you much.

That said, your best option is to call them directly and ask.

Let us know what you find out.

Leeks are a great little edc, sounds like you’ve got some good use out of it!

I'd just get a hammer and an vise/anvil and straighten the blade. You will probably have to resharpen after that.
