⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation
Contact support under the seller's warranty and marketplace return policy if, after following all usage and maintenance guidelines, the knife exhibits a manufacturing defect. This includes persistent failure of the locking mechanism, a cracked body without apparent impact, or a blade that does not slide correctly even after proper cleaning and lubrication. These are defects that impede normal product use and cannot be resolved by home maintenance.
