(“WÜSTHOF”) warrants to the consumer or the entity who or which is the initial purchaser or, in the case of a gift, to the initial consumer recipient of this WÜSTHOF product (“you” or “your”) that such product will be free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use and conditions (as described below) for your lifetime (the “Coverage Period”).
Warranty
This Warranty covers: (a) all parts of this product (except as noted below) and (b) defects in workmanship or materials under normal use and conditions in the United States of America. For purposes of this Warranty, “normal use and conditions” means use and conditions that (i) are in connection with appropriate culinary purposes as intended by WÜSTHOF and (ii) are not described in whole or part in the exclusions outlined in the next part of this Warranty.
Exclusions
WÜSTHOF products are professionally crafted tools, but are not indestructible, so each of the following is excluded from this Warranty:

- Each WÜSTHOF product that is made of wood or, in the case of a product—such as a knife with a wooden handle—that combines wood and other materials, only the wooden portion, because wood is a natural product that cannot be guaranteed (please contact WÜSTHOF Customer Service at the number below to discuss options for such products);
- Sharpening tools and honing steels, due to their abrasive nature;
- Customary wear and tear, including without limitation straight-edge and serrated blades that are dull, bent, scratched, corroded, or marked;
