A LIFETIME OF PERFORMANCE

We stand behind every knife that we manufacturer. For a knife to stand the test of time, there has to be a true lifetime commitment from the company that built it. That is the difference you get with every Axial. We aren't looking for reasons to deny warranty service. Our passion and pride motivates us to keep our products alive when other companies would give up and move on.

NO BULL LIFETIME GUARANTEE

To ensure you get a lifetime of performance out of your Axial, we confidently extend a Lifetime Warranty to protect against defects in material and workmanship. No fine print, no jumping through hoops, no bull. If your knife fails to perform as designed, we'll repair it or replace it at no cost to you.

What's covered? We warranty our knives against defects in material and workmanship. Our warranty covers the functionality of the knife for the lifetime of the knife.

What's not covered? Our warranty does not cover:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Damage caused by neglect (i.e. failure to perform necessary maintenance, damage due to improper sharpening of the blade, etc.)
  • Damage due to improper use (i.e. using the knife as a throwing knife, screwdriver, pry bar, chisel, etc.)
  • Any knife modified from its original factory condition
  • Accident, loss, or theft

Knives determined by Axial to be counterfeit, are excluded from coverage under this warranty. Please note that warranty service may be subject to the availability of parts.

PREMIER EDGE SERVICE & REPAIR

As part of our warranty, we also include our Premier Edge Service that can be taken advantage of at any time. Our craftsmen will disassemble, clean, lubricate, fine-tune, and sharpen your Axial knife at no extra cost to you. You are just responsible for the cost of shipping to and from our facility.

We also offer repair services and replacement parts for knives that fall outside of the lifetime warranty.

The Warranty Process

IMPORTANT: If your OTF knife fails to deploy properly, it's most likely caused by dirt, debris, or other buildup within the knife. If the internals of your knife are dry, this may also contibute to issues with deployment. Please visit our Knife Care Page for detailed instructions on how to clean and care for your OTF knife. If your OTF knife still does not function properly after cleaning and lubricating the internals, please follow the steps below to arrange warranty service on your knife:

1. Complete, sign, and submit the "Warranty Service Form" found at the link below, acknowledging your understanding and acceptance of the "Automatic Knife Agreement":

Warranty Service Form

2. One of our representatives will review your form submission and reply back within 1-2 business days to authorize your warranty request or to request additional information if required. Your warranty request must be authorized by one of our representatives before your knife can be sent in for service.

3. Ship your knife in a secure package to the Axial address provided below, postage paid and insured (optional). Axial is not responsible for any product(s) lost in transit, to or from, our facility:

4. Once we have received your package, Axial will do the following:

  •  If your Axial product fails to function as it was designed, we will examine its condition upon its return to Axial and determine the cause of the failure.
  • If we determine there is a defect in the manufacture, materials, or workmanship of your Axial product, Axial will repair or exchange that product with the same or similar model or one of equal value. The value of the product will be based on the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, as published by Axial.
  • If the problem with a returned product is determined to be caused by reasons other than a defect in manufacture, materials, or workmanship, Axial will determine whether the product can be repaired and provide a free estimate of the repair service cost. Upon authorization and receipt of payment for the repair and return shipping of the product, we will perform the repair.

KNIFE LAWS & REGULATIONS

The purchase, use, ownership, and carry of knives are subject to a wide range of federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Make sure that you are in compliance with all the laws and regulations that are in effect in your area. Because these laws and regulations are complicated and constantly changing, the buyer is responsible for investigating and complying with the laws and regulations that apply in his or her specific area. You, and not Axial Innovation LLC, are solely responsible for any claims resulting from the violation of these laws and/or regulations.

CAUTION

Knives are extremely sharp tools and should only be used with the utmost care and caution. Exercise extreme caution when carrying, deploying, and using your knife. Serious injury or death could occur if a knife is not handled responsibly.

(b) Axial may choose to involve third parties or governmental investigative agencies in order to determine the source of the counterfeit goods.
