Spyderco Knife 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 usable tool, Spyderco knives can wear out. They may also fail to perform 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 Spyderco will be unable to improve the condition of your knife.

Warranty

  • Spyderco warrants that all of our products are free from defects in material and workmanship.
  • Spyderco's warranty does not cover damage caused by abuse, misuse, loss, improper handling, alterations, accident, neglect, disassembly, or improper sharpening, or normal wear.
  • If a knife fails to function as it was designed we will examine its condition upon its return to us, identify why it failed and respond in an appropriate manner.
  • If we determine that there is a defect in the manufacture/materials/workmanship we will, at Spyderco's option, repair, or replace that product with the same model or one of equal value.
  • If the problem is determined not to be caused by defects in manufacture/materials/workmanship, we will inform you of the cost for repair if possible (please see below). Upon agreement and payment we will perform the repair.
  • If 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 customer.

Repair Information

  • Sharpening -- complimentary provided the edge of the knife is not severely damaged -- please include $5.00 for shipping and handling.

For the following repairs, please include $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling:

  • Blade or Edge -- broken tip from prying or dropping, destroyed edge due to improper sharpening, loose blade from abuse, rust due to neglect or other blade issues. (Spyderco is unable to replace blades)
  • Clips -- stripped screw holes, screws sheered off, broken or missing clip or other clip issues.

Schrade Knife Warranty

After the Schrade company closed its doors in 2005, Taylor Cutlery, famous for its Smith & Wesson knives, acquired the brand name and began supplying a complete import line of the Schrade Knives. You'll be impressed with the fit, finish and value of the new Schrade product line.

Taylor Brands offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty against any manufacturing defects on our products.  This includes any problems a customer might experience such as loss of screws, breaking of clip or breaking of the blade.  On any products manufactured using natural materials such as bone, stag, wood, buffalo horn, sheep horn, pearl etc... these are considered natural materials and they are subject to shrinking with time.  This shrinking can cause cracks in the handles and as this is a natural process it is not covered by our warranty.  In order to have the item repaired or replaced, it is required to send the product to 1043 Fordtown Road, Kingsport TN 37663 and include a check or money order for $6.95 for each item that is included (for return shipping and processing fee).  Please remember to include a return address and phone number.  If item has been discontinued and is no longer available, we will exchange for an item of similar value of our discretion.  Please allow 2-3 weeks for repair and return.

It is important to note that some items can only be replaced, therefore, if your item has sentimental value please consider this before mailing the item in.

Thank you for your patronage and loyalty to Taylor Brands.

REPAIRS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY

If your knife needs to be repaired, but doesn't fall under warranty, please send it to us. Don't try to repair it yourself. Self-repair will void your warranty, not to mention causing possible self-injury.

Reasons why repair wouldn't fall under warranty:

  • Damage caused by misuse or abuse.
  • Failure to care, clean and maintain your knife.
  • Damage due to self-repair.
  • Knife loss due to shipping to and from the Buck Knives factory
  • Damage due to dismantling or tampering with your Buck knif.e
  • Sharpening your Buck knife on a grinder.

HOW TO SEND YOUR KNIFE IN FOR REPAIR:

  • Tell us who you are and what is wrong with your knife.

    Let us know what you think is wrong with your knife. Include your name, address, phone number and email address.
  • Wrap your knife securely.

    Please put each knife in a sheath or wrap in cardboard to protect it during shipping. Pack it so the point will not cut through the packaging. You will get your sheath or cardboard back upon return.
  • Packing up your knife.

    We prefer that you pack your knife in a box. A padded envelope may also work if the knife isn’t too heavy or bulky. Be sure to put packing around the knife so it sits securely in the package.
  • Shipping methods.

    We recommend that you insure your package and send it by a certified receipt that can be tracked if necessary. This will help protect you against possibility of loss or damage to your knife. Note that knife loss, including shipping to and from the Buck factory, is not covered under warranty.

Boker Knives Warranty

Welcome to the Boker USA Warranty/Sharpening Info Page.

On this page, we will provide answers to your questions regarding the Boker warranty, repairs, and sharpening of Boker ceramic knives.

Our warranty has been in effect for over 135 years. Any Boker product that is defective in material or workmanship will be repaired or replaced by us at no charge to the customer. Our warranty reads:

"Every Boker product is guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the product to the original owner. If this item should fail under normal use, we will repair it or replace it at no charge with an item of equal or better value."

To help you better understand whether your product is covered under warranty, the following items are normally not covered under warranty, although exceptions do exist:

  • Blade rusting, particularly on carbon steel blades.
  • Blade breakage, especially after more than a year of ownership.
  • Handle scales cracking or breaking.
  • Any knife that has been converted to perform as an automatic knife is not covered under warranty at any time. Boker USA, Inc. honors the Federal law that prohibits the importation or selling of automatic knives. Boker USA, Inc. does not import or sell any automatic knives.
    Due to the Federal law barring interstate transportation of automatic knives (switchblades), we are unable to return them when shipped to us. If we receive any automatic knives, we will have no choice but to dispose of them. Boker USA, Inc disclaims any liability for financial loss due to disposal of automatic knives.
    For further information, please contact us at 1-800-992-6537 ext 21.

If you would like to send your Boker knife in for repair work or examination to see if it is covered under warranty, it must be accompanied by your phone number, shipping address (no P.O. boxes, please), e-mail address (if applicable) and $5.00 to cover return shipping and handling (in the form of either a check, money order or Visa or Mastercard number). If we do not have a method of contacting you, we will not be able to proceed with any repair or warranty work. If you do not include shipping charges it will cause significant delays in returning your knife to you. If your repair is covered under our warranty, we will return the $5.00 payment along with your knife. To service you best, please contact the Boker USA Customer Service/Repair Department prior to shipping your knife at 1-800-992-6537 ext. 21.

Our mailing address is:
Boker USA, Inc.
Attn: Repair Dept.
1550 Balsam Street
Lakewood, CO 80214-5917

We do recommend you ship your knife to us via insured U.S. mail or through United Parcel Service so it can be tracked.

BOKER CERAMIC KNIVES
Our ceramic knives are very keen cutting instruments but are not intended for chopping or cutting hard items such as bone, staples, or frozen products and are not to be used for whittling. Also, care must be taken while cutting items such as fibrous vegetables and cheeses.

Please exercise caution when using ceramic bladed knives.

Due to their extreme hardness, which is why they do not need to be sharpened as often as a steel blade, they are brittle. Therefore, blade breakage or chipping is not covered under warranty. We do provide a sharpening service, which can get out most small chips in the blade and restore the original edge.

If you need to have your knife sharpened, please refer to the information below.

Send your knife to:

Ross Cutlery
Attn: Ceramic Sharpening
310 S. Broadway
Los Angeles, CA 90013

The charge for this service is $19.95 plus $10.00 for each additional knife in the same package. This service will take approximately 4 weeks.

Payment to Ross Cutlery must be in the form of a check or money order made out to Ross Cutlery. Please include a note with your name, address (no PO Boxes please) and phone number.

If you have any questions, please call (303) 462-0662 ext. 21.

ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
If you wish to order parts from us, there may be a charge incurred. Please contact us to find out what charges apply, if any. Charges are as follows:

  • Replacement clips and clip screws: $5.00
  • Screw sets for Top Locks or Magnum BO series: $5.00.
  • If ordering a number of shields/emblems, screws, etc., please include $5.00 to cover shipping and handling.

If you have any questions on our warranty, repair work, or ceramic sharpening, please call us at 1-800-992-6537 Ext. 21.
