This is awesome! I'm so glad I've been spending my money on Esee knives, what a company, and and what a great product. For Esee to offer such a warranty shows that they believe in their knives. It's hard to believe that in this day and age a company takes care of their customers in this way. For me personally, I would never use their warranty if I was doing something stupid with their knife. If it booked during normal use for the particular knife, then I would. Don't take advantage of a company that takes care of you!
