George Knives, INC confidently extends a Limited Lifetime Warranty against any defects in materials or workmanship. We expect you to use the knife. We made it with that in mind. Our warranty covers the functionality of the knife for the lifetime of the knife. Our warranty does not cover normal signs of wear and tear, cosmetic refurbishments, modifications, abuse, accidents, loss, or theft. When submitting a knife for warranty service we will evaluate the return based on several factors, including but not limited to the availability of parts, whether or not a model is still in active production, or if parts to the model are still available. Some components have a natural expiration since all materials degrade over time with use and exposure to the elements.
