Unless their warranty stated otherwise regarding 'chips and misuse'
they would probably simply replace the knife... yer talkin' like 39¢
worth of sintered ceramic, the handle is worth more than the blade. I
just wouldn't expect this service more than once.. the S&H ya know.
The thing to embed in ones miniscule skull is that ceramic bladed
cutlery is more for show than go... why would anyone other than an
obtuse slope-browed dago imbecile want to go way way back to what is
essentially the Neanderthal flint knapping era.
