Not true. From AG Russell's guarantee:Just be aware of one thing. If something is wrong with your knife, NONE of these places will accept it in return.
We guarantee total satisfaction. You, the customer, decide what satisfaction is. You decide how long you are entitled to be satisfied.
If you buy a knife and don't use it for ten years and when you do use it you want to return it, do so. If you think that a knife should provide good service for ten years and it only does so for seven years, tell us so. You are in charge of our guarantee.
