If you take the knife apart it will void the warranty.

It's really cut and dry.....

And it's been discussed more than a few times...
 
the reason why they say disassembly voids your warranty is to prevent unskilled people from taking apart their knives, wrecking parts and sending in a bag of parts with broken or bent parts demanding warranty work. That said, if you disassemble your knife, clean it and reassemble it, PROPERLY. You won't have any trouble getting warranty work done, this is how it works with Benchmade. Not sure about spyderco, I believe they prolly have a different client base and may need different rules.
 
Spyderco Warranty
Spyderco knives are designed and built for use as cutting tools. Use of our knives for any purpose other than cutting is considered abuse. As with any tool Spyderco knives can wear out. They may also fail haverform if not used or cared for properly. If your knife has been put to hard use for a long period of time, it is possible that the useful life of the Spyderco product has been exceeded and Spyderco will be unable to perform any work upon the knife that will improve the condition thereof.

WARRANTY INFORMATION:

Spyderco warrants that all of our products are free from defects in material and workmanship.
Repairs to your knife performed by any source other than Spyderco Inc. unconditionally voids the knife’s warranty.
Spyderco’s warranty does not cover DAMAGE caused BY abuse, misuse, loss, improper handling, alterations, accident, neglect, disassembly, or improper sharpening.
If a knife fails to function as it was designed, we will examine its condition upon its return to Spyderco, identify why it failed and respond in an appropriate manner.
If we determine there is a defect in the manufacture/materials/workmanship, Spyderco will repair, or replace that product with the same model or one of equal value at its own expense.
If a problem with a returned knife is determined to be caused by something other than a defect in manufacture/materials/workmanship, Spyderco will inform you of whether the product can be repaired and the cost to you of having Spyderco implement such repair (see below). Upon agreement and payment we will perform the repair.
If Spyderco is unable to improve the condition of the knife, we will return it to you with the recommendation it be retired from use. All costs associated with shipment of the product(s) are the responsibility of the customerhave ve you read the warranty? I'll post it

That's really the best option for people who have questions... ;)
 
IMO, the warranty is voided if you take a knife apart, damage it in the process and then ask for warranty repair.
Or you try to fix a defect yourself ( like an off center blade) , fail and then ask for warranty repair.
 
I agree 100% how about if the knife is taken apart and put back together without damage?

Now, does everyone thing it is a fair policy? Probably not. However, they have their reasons for implementing it, and yes they can tell when a knife has been disassembled. It's not that hard. Logic has nothing to do with it really. They manufacture the product and they can provide any and all warranty as they deem necessary. It is, what it is. I own well over 100 Spyderco knives, and disassembly is not necessary for cleaning, believe me.

If the knife is not damaged by taking it apart then it should be covered against any other issue. ( IMO)

I bought a Spyderco P'kal a few years ago. When I took the knife out of the box, one of the torx screws was cross threaded. I could see the head sitting crooked against the g10 slab. So in that case would they have said I did it? I was able to fix it myself....
 
It would seem no mater what anyone here answers you will not agree Usarmy. Its been answered here and in your other thread over and over. If you want more clarification simply call Spyderco, we get it you don't like that they stated if you disassemble your knife it voids the warranty. Either call them, live with it, or buy a different brand knife. Its really truly simple.
 
First off, I've never had a problem with spyderco warranty.

But: where does it stop? Adjusting pivot? Removing a clip? How exactly can they tell between tightening and loosening screws and actually taking it apart?

I refuse to believe they expect you to send it in and not get it back for a month and a half if you get play and need the pivot adjusted.

Precisely. Nobody is, as you, usarmy74d, claim, biased (which seems to me to be insulting fellow members). They gave you and continue to give you an answer you, apparently, don't want to hear. Deal.

Would like more input, some people are biased due to various reasons so read the thread entirely please give me your response thanks.

And now I see from the title of this thread, that the people giving you an answer you don't want to hear are not only biased, but illogical. :rolleyes:
 
OK I just got off the phone with spyderco,
The initial person I spoke to told me taking the knife apart period voided the warranty I asked why what she was telling me differed from the box and asked to speak to someone higher up, the next person I spoke with was very friendly and informative and told me taking the knife apart and putting it together without damage does NOT void the warranty should for example the steel fracture or other defect take place. I didnt catch her name but she was very polite as was I and now we can lay this to rest. IF YOU TAKE YOUR KNIFE APART AND DAMAGE IT YOU WILL PAY FOR REPAIR THE ACT OF DISASSEMBLY DOES NOT VOID WARRANTY UNLESS YOU DAMAGE THE KNIFE PERIOD. She also said some knives they sell are more difficult to assemble than others which is why they recommend sending the knife in to be opened. I agree with her 100%

So no more false information

Yeah, but, how do we KNOW YOU'RE tellin the TRUTH???
Maybe your agenda is to see all of us take our knives apart to void the warranty???
This is too much to handle!
 
What do you false information spreaders have to say?? Straight from spyderco so quit spouting your garbage.
