Due Care

Knives are often offered as an example of an “unavoidably unsafe product.” Without a sharp edge and/or a tip, a knife is not practical, either as a tool or as a weapon. It might be a spatula, for instance, but not a knife.

You, the purchaser, acknowledge and assume all necessity of due care, caution, and safe handling of the knife. Many other unavoidably unsafe products, such as prescription medications and chemical drain cleaning products, are sold in containers fitted with appropriate “childproof” caps or lids. People exercising due care keep such items out of the reach of children. Knives must be handled and kept with the same – if not greater – degree of care.

Microtech Knives is  not be responsible for use or misuse of the products you purchase from us.
