LIABILITY
All of our products are intended and sold for legitimate sporting and recreational purposes only. The purchase, use, and ownership of knives are subject to a wide variety of local laws and customs regulations. Certain knife styles, blade designs, and blade lengths are not allowed in specific areas. Due to the complexity and constantly changing nature of these laws and regulations, it is impossible for Kailash Blades to be aware of every restriction in every location in which our knives may be sold or carried.
It is the responsibility of the buyer to investigate and comply with the laws and customs regulations that apply in his or her specific area. The purchaser and / or user is solely responsible for any claims resulting from violation of these laws and/or regulations either once obtained or during shipping.
WARNING! Knives are extremely sharp tools and should only be used with the utmost care and caution. While we do consider our knives fit for extreme use and cover these activities in some of our warranties, such activities are engaged in at the user's peril and by engaging in them takes full responsibility for their safety.
In the event that one of our products breaks during such behaviour and leads to harm, the user is still responsible for engaging in that activity in the first place. Failure to properly maintain your knife also may cause its mechanisms to not function properly, which could result in injury to you or damage to the knife.
Keeping your knife regularly oiled, cleaning off any surface rust which may form during use and regular sharpening will keep the blade functioning properly while keeping the handle lightly oiled and stored in a dry place, outside of its sheath will increase its lifespan as long as possible.

Returns/ Refunds Policy:
An order from Kailash is not like ordering from a regular retailer. Each of our blades is made custom from scratch to your needs and as a result refunds and changes of mind cannot be handled as though these are stock blades. In specific circumstances we can come to an arrangement if the manufacturing of the blades has not yet begun, however once progress has started on a blade that order is Final. The custom process and photo updates as part of seeing your blade are as much a part of the product as the final knife. As a result these custom blades cannot be resold for the same value to anyone else. The customer will have to cover the cost of depreciation (20%), come to an alternative arrangement or follow through with the order. Any purchase placed through Kailash Blades is final and by completing the checkout process the customer shows that they have committed to buying and taking responsibility for all of the items in their cart. We take no responsibility for blades purchased through a third party unless stated otherwise.
A refund can be obtained under the circumstance that we have failed to complete or send our order within reasonable time as defined by us or that we have sent a product other than what was ordered/ as described under the conditions described on this page. We also refund any mistakes in payment that may have occurred. Any circumstance where refund may occur is to be treated individually and is open to our discretion and judgement on if it fits these requirements.
Upon confirmation of refund you will receive a credit via your original method of payment. Please allow 10-14 business days for processing of returns and issuance of credit upon receipt by Kailash Blades. Please note that we cannot refund the initial shipping costs once the item has been shipped, only prior to that time. If you used a promotional code or certificate to pay for any part of an item that you want to return, you will be credited only the amount charged to your credit card. If you used a gift certificate to pay for any part of an item that you want to return, you will receive another certificate of equal value for future use.
In case of blade failure, please consult us through email with some photographs of the knife and a description of what has occurred. At this point we may be able to simply send a replacement straight to you, depending on circumstance and level of warranty. If not, we will need it to be sent to us in an insured and shipping paid to the following address. We will not accept unpaid or uninsured packages.
