My DH accidently dropped my Santoku knive and it bent on the tip of the knife - Will this be covered under warranty since its a lifetime warranty? Do I call HO and ask??
 
Sure thing.Let us know what they say. I hope they don't make you send it back. It's hit or miss.
 
I would just do a product adjustment, you'll probably have to send it back, but you'll have a new one....;)
 
Hi Doreen,

How bad is it bent??? My utility knife was bent a little bit on the tip and when I honed it, it came almost straight. Not sure how it bent. I would call HO and get a new one. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
