EMERSON GUARANTEE POLICY

If you purchase an Emerson knife from any other source outside of Emerson Knives direct, please be aware that there are very close counterfeits now on the market. We have gotten several obvious counterfeits sent to us for warranty repair (it figures). If it is a deal too good to be true - it is a fake. PLEASE BUY FROM REPUTABLE DEALERS ONLY!

Care and Maintenance

Minimal care is all that is required to insure the maximum potential that your knife can provide for you. Clean the knife periodically and lubricate the pivot area with light oil, especially after exposure to salt water or acidic environment.

Your Emerson knife is built to withstand the rigors of extreme use, but it is a knife, not a chisel, screwdriver or hammer, and it is not intended for use as such. This knife is a cutting tool and is not designed for throwing. Do not use it in that capacity.

Guarantee

Your Emerson knife is guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship and has a limited lifetime warranty, to the original owner. This guarantee is void if the knife has been abused beyond normal wear and tear or used beyond what are considered the normal parameters for a folding knife. It is up to the discretion of Emerson Knives whether to repair or replace damaged or defective items, and we reserve the right to replace old or out of date parts with new parts as necessary. For warranty service ship the knife postage paid and insured with $14.00 for return shipping, directly to Emerson Knives.

Implied Warranty

Emerson Knives will not be responsible for careless handling, unsafe use and assumes no responsibility for incidental or consequential damages, with respect to economic loss or injury to property. Some states do not allow the exclusion for limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Sharpening Recommendations

We recommend that you sharpen your Emerson Knife the old fashioned way, on a bench mounted stone or diamond lap. The chisel ground blades should be sharpened on the beveled side only, and never sharpened on the flat side. You may remove the burr on the flat side by laying the blade flat on the hone and lightly touching the blade keeping it flat on the hone. Finish by stropping both sides on a piece of leather mounted on a hard flat surface. Never use a motorized or power driven sharpening device. It will ruin your blade. We will factory sharpen your knife if you prefer. Just ship, insured, to us with $19.00 U.S. for shipping and sharpening. For payment, if you can send a money order or credit card information we will be able to return your package faster. If you send a personal check we will have to hold shipping the package up to 10 days for the check to clear the bank.
