We strive to craft a knife to the best of our abilities. While the steels used may be "stainless" or stain resistant, they will require care. The carbon damascus blades will require maintenance to prevent rust and/or pitting. It is the responsibility of the user to implement reasonable care in maintaining the knife. The design of the knife has specific limitations. They are not designed as: pry bars, screwdrivers, chisels, impact tools, shovels, tree choppers, rock chippers, wire cutters, anti-tank or such. Damage caused by abuse and/or neglect may have added fees for restoration and/or parts replacement.
