Warranty Information:

• Gunter Wilhelm lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects (materials and workmanship). Terms and conditions apply.
• A dull knife that requires sharpening is basic maintenance, not a manufacturing defect.
• Rust spots can appear if the knife is placed in a dishwasher, left in water for long periods, or not dried properly. Use a stainless steel polisher cream/paste like Bar Keepers Friend to remove rust spots.
• Woodblocks, sharpening tools, and blade protectors are not covered by the lifetime warranty due to normal wear.
