Just wanted to give some positive feesback on Protech knives and their lifetime warranty. I bought a Protech Godson automatic knife about 8 years ago. Ive used it like a tool and abused it. I broke the tip off the blade prying something 6 uears ago and sent it in with the $15 return postage and they reshaped the blade for me. Not one to learn my lesson I did it again. Also, my automatic mechanism stopped working because of my prolific knife abuse. Just sent it back in with the $15 and had it back in 10 days fixed and blade reshaped again. I shouldnt use this expensive knife the way I do but love it, so carry it all the time and when I need a tool I use it. Its probably the roughest looking Godson out there but its mine. I highly recommend ProTech and their great customer service.
