Buying a knife isn’t just about steel and design—it’s about the after-sale experience. So what happens if your Kansept knife has a manufacturing defect, a faulty pivot, or a chipped blade out of the box?
Let’s break down the real-world experience of Kansept’s warranty and customer service.
🛡️ What the Warranty Covers
Kansept offers a limited lifetime warranty covering:
-
Manufacturing defects
-
Mechanical failures not due to abuse
-
Replacement of hardware (pivot, screws, etc.)
What it doesn’t cover:
-
Cosmetic wear
-
Improper sharpening
-
Damage due to misuse
The process usually starts via email or contact form through their website, and often involves sending photos of the issue.
👥 User Feedback from the Community
Customer reviews are mixed but improving. Some users report fast responses and simple replacements. Others, particularly in earlier years or via overseas distributors, faced slower communication or language delays.
One BladeForums user wrote:
“It took a couple of emails, but they sent me a new pivot and clip—free. No hassle.”
A Redditor added:
“The CS wasn’t Benchmade-level, but it wasn’t bad either. Took a few days.”
🔧 Tips for Faster Service
-
Reach out directly to Kansept via their main site
-
Provide clear photos of the issue
-
If purchased via a dealer, contact the dealer first
✅ Conclusion
Kansept’s warranty support is decent, especially for a young brand. It may not yet match the “send-it-in-no-questions-asked” policies of legacy brands like Benchmade, but it shows they stand behind their products. For most users, it’s peace of mind that you’re not on your own after checkout.
