BUCK FOREVER WARRANTY
BUCK FOREVER WARRANTY
ONLY BUCK® PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTED IN NEW ZEALAND BY KILWELL SPORTS LTD. WILL BE COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY.
In the unlikely event of a warranty claim, submission of your registration card will ensure your claim is handled with speed, efficiency and honest service.
The Buck Knives Forever Warranty is pretty much what it says. A Buck Knife is built to last. But if for some reason, your Buck is defective due to materials or workmanship, you can return it for repair.
We will repair your knife, including parts, labour and or replacement with a new knife at our discretion. Keep in mind; repair is not always possible or practical. We will replace your knife with the same or one that is comparable if your knife is no longer available. Please note if your knife has sentimental value when you send the knife to us.
REPAIRS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
If your knife needs to be repaired, please send it to us for evaluation. Don’t try to repair it yourself. Self–repair will void your warranty, not to mention that it could cause self–injury.
Reasons why we may charge you a small fee for a repair:
Damage caused by misuse or abuse.
Failure to care, clean and maintain your knife.
Damage due to self–repair.
Knife loss due to shipping to and from the Buck Knives factory
Damage due to dismantling or tampering with your Buck knife
Sharpening your Buck knife on a grinder.
Should you ever have to claim for a warranty repair, please return your Buck product to the stockist where you made your purchase, along with your proof of purchase, and a description of the problem or contact Kilwell Customer Service to discuss your options: 07 345 9094
