Painting and guarantee

Wow Antonio, that blade has seen some real use! I love it when a coated blade has that well used look.
 
And after a few months (from two days ago)

I wish i would have known eki was that strict with their warranty before I shelled out the big bucks for one. Having known they would void the warranty for something as trivial as that would have made me pass on the purchase.
 
Emerson has no way of explaining every single act or variation of an act that can cause warranty violation, so its far easier to have a blanket statement such as 'no modifications". I personally don't blame them. Can you imagine trying to service a knife that has been submerged in paint and every part has now been gummed up or at the very least the tolerances have been changed? Now I know that is a bit of an exaggeration, and not what was done in this case, but it would be hard to tell the consumer just how much painting can be done to a knife before you have voided the warranty. Most manufacturers will not work on modified knives. Also, the warranty information is on their site and from what I remember is not hard to find. It has also been discussed many times before. If you no longer wish to own the knife because of this policy, you shouldn't have a problem selling it.
