>Coating wear. Some Very Good knives are equipped with our textured powder coat which is subject to wear such as thinning scratching or chipping. Though the coating is very tough, it will eventually wear dependent on how you use your knife.
>Dull edge and/or damage due to improper sharpening/edge renewal by owner or any person(s) not affiliated with Very Good Knife Company. This policy stems from electric belt type sharpeners.
