Sebenza warranty

[nbp]

I am neither a lawyer or CRK employee, but I believe the answer is no. It becomes a liability problem.

Interesting. I wonder where they draw the line.

True makes sense btw just got it in today and i love it its perfect.

Since I clicked that link and ruined my lunch, I'm going to help the rest of you out...

What he said!! I could NOT agree more!

This has been a great post..Even with the mods to the knife, It's like worrying about hurting a hammer. With even hared use, that knife should outlast any of us,,,,and yes there are people who repair hammers.

Nothing new that any pimp job voids the warranty. IMO if an issue arises the pimper should resolve the issue. Not the original manufacturer/maker.

This is a perfect example of why to not purchase pimped knives no matter the price. People who know little about knives and precision parts take it upon themselves to pimp them. Then when there is an issue, they want them fixed and expect it to be like new again even when some of their pimp jobs make like new impossible. CRK has had this stance for as long as I can remember and you gotta respect them for that.

My advise.....don't bend a washer. I have had nearly 100 sebenzas and never had a washer bend, so with careful disassembly and reassembly, you should be in good shape.

I assume they would still fix it at a charge to the owner, rather than free under warranty. Don't you think?

I don't fault any company for voiding a warranty on an item that has been modified by a third party. The work that was done shouldn't affect the function of the knife though so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

^^^This. Don't even stress it. Just be careful when you do a cleaning, to treat those washers gently for now. You probably won't ever need it if you treat it right. Good luck. Now lets see those pics!!!

If you want an anodized sebenza there are any number of unique graphics out there that look great. These are done at CRK and carry a full warranty. IMO most of these "pimped" crk knives look like something that big gay al from Southpark would carry.

I can't understand why people cannot leave a good thing alone?

Because as great as stone axes were for ten thousand years, we decided to try obsidian for slicing fruit. It's been a constant race to find more improvements dince

I can't understand why people have to rain on other people's parades.

I sold Sunny the knife, which digging back in the last had been discussed in these forums before here:

And here:

And it was quite well-received, and people had manners.

Looking at some of the comments here, some of ya'll are just rude. That's what I don't understand.

The comments seem to be directed at the warranty service being voided by the modifications and not the modifications themselves.
Pimping isn't necessarily for all people and it's not necessarily a surprise that tastes have a very wide range.

I have only one simple question...
Did you tell the buyer that the warranty may not be valid since it was "pimped".

 

[wtlj]

Double tap

 

[RobertK]

We were in constant communication. He called CRK. I also relayed him the info given to me by Randy.

I've also never had a single bad sale as a seller. I've also never refused a return. Does that answer your simple question?

 

[wtlj]

Let's see...no. It was a fairly simple question. Did you or did you not tell the buyer the warranty was void due to modification? Everytime I call CRK and ask a question about warranty services the answer always ends with "as long as the knife hasn't been modified".
Unless the "pimp" is going to warranty the knife with CRK replacement parts, his words carry no weight.

Seems like you covered everything well

I think so. I'm happy, Sunny is happy. Some people just like to argue on the Internet.
