Boker Limited Lifetime Warranty

The warranty guarantees that your knife will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product for the original owner. If a knife fails under normal use, Boker will repair or replace it at their discretion.

What is NOT Covered

To maintain your warranty, it is important to avoid common "misuse" scenarios that void coverage:

  • Abuse/Misuse: Using the knife as a pry bar, screwdriver, hammer, or chisel.

  • Disassembly: Taking the knife apart often voids the warranty.

  • Modifications: Converting a manual knife to an automatic or altering the blade.

  • Normal Wear: Scratches, dullness from use, or broken pocket clips.

  • Ceramic Blades: Due to their brittle nature, blade chipping or breakage on ceramic knives is generally not covered.

Pro Tip: Boker strongly recommends registering your knife upon purchase to streamline future claims and verify original ownership.
