Spyderco, Inc. conducts its business in an honest, fair, and proper manner. Spyderco products are designed and built for use as cutting and sharpening tools. Use of its products outside the scope of their intended purpose is considered abuse and is not covered by the warranty. Like all tools, Spyderco knives require proper maintenance to function properly and are subject to normal wear and tear. Knives and other products put to hard use for extended periods of time may eventually reach the end of their service life and should be retired from use and replaced.
Duration of coverage
This warranty covers the owner of a genuine Spyderco product for the life of the product.
What does the warranty cover/not cover?
Spyderco warrants that all of its genuine products are free from defects in material and workmanship.
This warranty does not cover loss, theft, or any damages caused by accidents, abuse, misuse, improper handling, alterations, neglect, improper sharpening, normal wear and tear, or repairs performed by any service not authorized by Spyderco, Inc.
Consequential or incidental damages are not recoverable under this warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to you.
Spyderco’s knives are assembled to exacting tolerances by trained technicians, so the company discourages end users from disassembling or adjusting its knives. If a knife has been disassembled and reassembled correctly so as to maintain its proper mechanical function this warranty remains in full effect. However, if a knife has been disassembled and reassembled in such a way that, in Spyderco’s sole determination, the proper mechanical function of the knife has been compromised, it is no longer covered by this warranty.
Spyderco’s warranty only applies to original, unaltered Spyderco components. Aftermarket parts and accessories added to your knife are not covered by its warranty, nor are Spyderco components that have been altered or modified in any way. If, in Spyderco’s sole determination, the installation of an aftermarket part or the modification of an original Spyderco factory part compromised the proper mechanical function of the knife in any way, the knife is no longer covered by this warranty.
Broken, lost, or bent metal clips are typically not covered by Spyderco’s warranty. Broken molded (integral) clips can be completely removed and replaced with metal clips.
What Spyderco will do
If your Spyderco product fails to function as it was designed, it will examine its condition upon its return to Spyderco, Inc. and determine the cause of the failure.
If Spyderco determines there is a defect in the manufacture, materials, or workmanship of your Spyderco product, Spyderco, Inc. will repair or exchange that product with the same or similar model or one of equal value.
If the problem with a returned product is determined to be caused by reasons other than a defect in manufacture, materials, or workmanship, Spyderco, Inc. will determine whether the product can be repaired.
