Every Meito blade is forged by hand to last a lifetime, and we back that with a guarantee that lasts just as long.

We don't mass-produce. Every knife passes through the hands of skilled artisans, folded and hammered layer by layer in genuine Damascus steel. When you build knives that way, standing behind them isn't a marketing decision. It's the only thing that makes sense.

What's Covered

We guarantee every Meito knife against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. If a genuine manufacturing defect appears under normal kitchen use, we'll replace your knife at no cost.

This includes:

• Delamination or separation of the Damascus steel layers
• Cracking or chipping of the blade under normal use
• Handle separation or failure of the bolster
• Defects in heat treatment affecting the blade's integrity
• Any other flaw traceable to how the knife was made

No time limit to file. If a defect shows up in year seven, it's covered the same as year one.

Original purchaser only. This guarantee applies to the person who bought the knife and isn't transferable. Proof of purchase is required for any claim.

What's Not Covered

This guarantee covers manufacturing defects — not damage caused by how a knife is used or cared for. The following are not covered:

• Dishwasher damage. Heat and detergent will ruin both the blade and the wooden handle. Hand wash only.
• Misuse. Prying, twisting, cutting through bone, or cutting frozen food.
• Improper care. Soaking, leaving the knife wet, or storing in damp conditions.
• Rust, staining, or cosmetic wear resulting from regular use or lack of maintenance.
• Drops, accidents, modifications, or sharpening with inappropriate tools.
• Normal wear. A blade that has simply become dull with use isn't defective — it needs sharpening.

Keeping Your Blade Sharp

A knife that dulls over time isn't a warranty issue, it's just a knife doing its job. That's why every Meito order includes our 3-in-1 sharpener free: a coarse diamond slot to restore the edge, and a ceramic slot to finish and polish it.

Three rules will keep your knife performing for decades:

1. Hand wash with warm water and mild soap
2. Dry immediately after washing
3. Store it safely, a block, magnetic strip, or sheath

How to Make a Claim

1. Email us with your order number, a short description of the issue, and clear photos or videos of the knife. Claims must be reported within 7 days of noticing the issue.
2. We review it. Our team looks at every claim individually; usually within 2 business days.
3. We make it right. If it's a manufacturing defect, we send you a replacement at no cost.

That's it. No forms to download, no authorization numbers, no runaround.

This guarantee applies to authentic Meito knives purchased through meito-knives.com. It covers manufacturing defects only, and we reserve the right to decline claims where the damage clearly results from misuse, neglect, or improper care.
