I had this exact style knife for over 25 years and used it almost every day. This past year, in 2020 I noticed a hairline crack in the blade. I called the company they immediately said return the knife and we will send you a new one. No questions asked, just send it back and please except our apology for being behind in production. Every one of my knives is from this company and I’ve had all of them for over 20 years. I will continue purchasing my knives from this company. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
