Schrade limited lifetime warranty for cutting tools
This product is warrantied to the original consumer purchaser, for as long as he or she owns this product. Coverage ends if you transfer or sell the product to someone else or if the product is modified in any way. The warranty covers defects in materials, manufacture or assembly. If one of Schrade products ever breaks or fails due to material or manufacturing defect, the brand will repair or replace the product.
The warranty does not cover normal wear and damage caused by abuse, misuse, improper handling, loss, accident, alterations, neglect, disassembly, or improper sharpening. Cosmetic damage, which occurs over time and use, such as scratches on a products finish or coatings, on a product rubbing, or wearing off are normal and are not covered by the warranty. Schrade products rarely fail because of a defect and in most cases the failure or breakage is due to “tool abuse.” “Tool abuse” is when the product is used for unsuitable non-intended purposes. Examples would be using a knife for any other purpose than cutting, such as pounding, prying, using as a screw driver, throwing the knife, etc. Multi-purpose tools are not intended to replace full-sized tools and are for use only on light or moderately heavy-duty applications. Collapsible batons are not pry bars, etc. Always use the right tools for the intended purposes.
Locking systems, such as liner locks, safeties, frame locks, and lock back mechanisms are added features designed to help keep the blade in the open position when fully extended. These systems are not designed to take pressure or blows to the backside (dull side) of the blade. Failure of these systems can happen when not used properly. When a cutting tool/knife is used properly, the cutting pressure exerted on the knife blade will always be against the cutting edge of the blade, pushing and keeping the knife blade open. When used properly, it is impossible for the knife to close when cutting.
Misuse of your product can cause serious injury or even death. Misuse often will result in your product failing and breaking, in which cases the BTI Tools warranty will not apply. Failure to properly maintain your product may cause its mechanisms to not function properly and can also result in injury to you and/or damage to your product.
All natural materials, such as Buffalo Horn, Sheep Horn, Mother of Pearl, Pickbone, Stag Horn, etc. are subject to natural processes, including cracking over time, and are not covered by this warranty.

All Schrade expandable batons are warranted to the original consumer purchaser for

Automatic knives
Schrade does produce a small range of USA-made automatic knives. Please note Schrade produces a range of non-automatic cutting tools featuring push button locking
mechanisms. These knives are not sold by Schrade in the automatic form, and the conversion of these models into automatic knives voids the Schrade warranty and will not be accepted for repair purposes.
