Everything we sell is new and unused, including everything in the Closeouts category. We do not sell used, refurbished, returned or second-quality knives. A closeout is new stock at a reduced price because a line is ending, not a product with a history.
Every product listed is new, unused and in its manufacturer packaging where the manufacturer supplies packaging. Product pages describe items as boxed, clam packed or similar because that is how they arrive from the maker.
Every order is picked and packed by us at 5055 Carrollton Pike, Suite C, Woodlawn, Virginia, and goes out by USPS. We do not dropship, so nothing you order is forwarded to a third party to fulfill.
A discontinued line, an ending colorway, or stock we bought more of than we sold. None of those change the condition of the item. See what closeout means.
The practical consequence of a closeout is availability: when it is gone, it is usually gone for good.
Because everything is new, manufacturer warranties apply as the manufacturer sets them. Several brands we carry warrant against defects for the life of the knife or the life of the original owner.
See the individual brand answers for what each one actually covers.
