Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that nobody else has an offer this good and you might have some questions.
Every knife comes with endless resharpening. When we can't resharpen it any more, we replace it. Your knife will be back to you good as new in 1 week.
We expect you to work our knives hard. Skin a deer. Split wood. Cut rope. Open feed bags. Clean fish. Strip wire. Carve kindling. Put it to work. We'll take care of the rest.
We stand behind every knife we make, so the carry on guarantee is included with every purchase. No extra fess, no fine print.
Yes. Carry On! is tied to the knife, not the original purchaser β so if you received one as a gift, it's fully covered. Sharpening, refinishing, and the one-time replacement all apply, no matter who originally bought it.
No catch. Sharpening, cleaning, and refinishing really are free for life, no limit on how many times. The replacement really is no-questions-asked, even for a lost or stolen knife. The one real boundary: you get one replacement per purchase. We can offer this because it doesn't cost us much to keep an edge sharp, and because we build knives well enough that most people never need the replacement at all.
Anthem Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee
The following terms govern the Anthem Knife and Implement Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee (βGuaranteeβ). By purchasing an eligible Anthem knife, the purchaser and any subsequent recipient of that knife agree to these terms. The Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee is designed to ensure that an Anthem knife can continue to be carried, used, maintained, and enjoyed for a lifetime.
1. Lifetime Coverage
Every eligible Anthem knife is covered by the Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee for the lifetime of the original purchase.
Coverage includes:
- Resharpening of the knife
- Repair of the knife
- One replacement knife if the original knife is lost, stolen, damaged beyond reasonable repair, or otherwise qualifies for replacement under these terms
The Guarantee never expires. The Guarantee is associated with the original purchase number rather than the identity of the original purchaser. If the knife is given or transferred to another person, the new owner may use the Guarantee as long as they can provide the original purchase number or other acceptable proof of the qualifying purchase.
2. Proof of Purchase
A valid purchase number, order number, receipt, or other proof of the original qualifying purchase is required to receive service under the Guarantee.
The purchase number is associated with the original purchase and may be provided by the original purchaser to a subsequent owner.
Anthem may require reasonable information to verify the purchase before providing service or a replacement.
3. One Knife Per Purchase
Each qualifying purchase is eligible for a maximum of one replacement knife for the lifetime of that purchase.
This means that Anthem will provide no more than one replacement knife per purchase number, regardless of the reason for the replacement.
A replacement may be requested when the original knife is:
- Lost
- Stolen
- Damaged beyond reasonable repair
- Destroyed during normal use
- Otherwise determined by Anthem to qualify for replacement under this Guarantee
Once Anthem provides the one replacement knife, the original purchase has fulfilled its replacement benefit.
The replacement knife is not eligible for another replacement under the Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee.
The replacement knife does not create a new purchase number, restart the replacement benefit, or provide another replacement entitlement.
4. Three-Month Replacement Waiting Period
A replacement knife may not be requested during the first three (3) months following the original purchase date, except when Anthem determines, in its sole discretion, that an earlier replacement is appropriate due to a manufacturing defect or other qualifying circumstance.
This waiting period applies to the original knife and does not reset if the knife is transferred to another person.
The three-month waiting period is intended to prevent repeated or immediate replacement claims.
5. Resharpening
Anthem will provide resharpening services for eligible Anthem knives covered by the Guarantee.
Normal use, dulling, and routine wear do not void the Guarantee.
Anthem may establish reasonable procedures and shipping requirements for resharpening services.
6. Repairs
Anthem will repair eligible Anthem knives when Anthem determines that the knife can reasonably be restored to functional condition.
Repairs may include, where appropriate:
- Blade repairs
- Handle repairs
- Hardware replacement
- Sheath or component replacement
- Other repairs Anthem determines are reasonably necessary
Anthem will determine whether a knife should be repaired or replaced.
A knife that is repaired remains associated with the original purchase and does not create an additional replacement entitlement.
7. Lost Knives
If an eligible Anthem knife is lost, the owner may request a replacement after the three-month waiting period described above.
Because loss is covered by the Guarantee, the owner is not required to return the original knife when making a lost-knife replacement claim.
A lost-knife replacement counts as the one replacement knife available under that purchase number for the lifetime of the purchase.
After the replacement is issued, no additional replacement will be provided under that purchase number.
8. Stolen Knives
If an eligible Anthem knife is stolen, the owner may request a replacement after the three-month waiting period described above.
The owner is not required to return the stolen knife. A stolen-knife replacement counts as the one replacement knife available under that purchase number for the lifetime of the purchase. After the replacement is issued, no additional replacement will be provided under that purchase number.
Anthem may request reasonable information regarding the circumstances of the theft to help prevent fraudulent claims.
9. Damage and Normal Use
The Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee is intended to cover knives used for their intended purposes.
Normal use may include, but is not limited to:
- Everyday carry
- Cutting rope and cordage
- Outdoor and camping activities
- Hunting and field dressing
- Fishing
- Cutting cardboard, plastic, and similar materials
- Job-site tasks consistent with normal knife use
Normal wear and tear does not automatically void the Guarantee.
10. Abuse and Intentional Damage
Anthem may deny repair or replacement when it determines that a knife has been intentionally abused, modified, or damaged in a manner inconsistent with normal use.
Examples include:
- Intentional destruction or stress testing
- Striking the knife with a hammer, mallet, or other object
- Using the knife as a pry bar, screwdriver, chisel, or digging tool
- Intentionally bending, twisting, or breaking the knife
- Heating, torching, or intentionally exposing the knife to extreme conditions
- Grinding or substantially altering the blade
- Unauthorized modification or disassembly
- Any action intended to cause extreme or unnatural failure
Anthem reserves the right to determine whether damage is consistent with normal use or intentional or abusive use.
11. Unauthorized Modifications
Modifications made by the owner or a third party may affect eligibility for repair or replacement.
Examples include:
- Blade reshaping or reprofiling
- Grinding or cutting the blade
- Drilling or machining the knife
- Modifying the handle
- Replacing components with non-Anthem parts
- Altering the locking mechanism
- Unauthorized disassembly
Anthem will determine whether a modification materially affects the requested service.
12. Replacement Knife
When a replacement is approved, Anthem may provide the same model when available.
If the original model is discontinued or unavailable, Anthem may provide a comparable Anthem knife at Anthem's discretion.
A replacement knife issued under this Guarantee is not covered for another replacement.
The replacement knife may still be eligible for resharpening or repair services at Anthem's discretion, but loss, theft, destruction, or damage to the replacement knife does not create another replacement entitlement.
The original purchase number remains permanently limited to one replacement knife.
13. Transfer of Ownership
The Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee follows the original qualifying purchase rather than the identity of the original purchaser. The original purchaser may give or transfer the knife to another person. The subsequent owner may receive covered service by providing the original purchase number or other acceptable proof of purchase.
The transfer of ownership does not reset:
- The three-month replacement waiting period
- The one-replacement lifetime limit
- Any other limitation associated with the original purchase
If the knife has already been replaced, transferring the replacement knife to another person does not create another replacement entitlement.
14. Shipping and Service
Anthem may require the customer to ship the knife to Anthem for inspection, resharpening, or repair.
The customer is responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding the shipment of knives.
Anthem may provide specific shipping instructions depending on the service requested.
For lost or stolen knife replacement claims, the customer will not be required to ship the original knife.
15. Fraud and Abuse Prevention
The Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee is intended for legitimate ownership and use of Anthem knives.
Anthem may deny a claim or suspend a customer's eligibility if Anthem determines that the customer has engaged in fraud, deception, repeated abuse, or other conduct intended to exploit the Guarantee.
Examples include:
- Providing false purchase information
- Attempting to obtain more than one replacement from the same purchase
- Attempting to use multiple purchase numbers for knives that were not legitimately purchased
- Knowingly providing false information about a lost or stolen knife
- Repeatedly submitting claims inconsistent with legitimate product use
- Attempting to circumvent the three-month replacement waiting period
- Any other conduct intended to improperly obtain replacement products
Anthem reserves the right to request reasonable documentation or information when investigating a claim.
16. No Expiration
The Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee never expires. As long as the qualifying purchase can be verified, the customer may request covered resharpening or repair services in accordance with these terms. The replacement benefit, however, is limited to one replacement knife per original purchase for the lifetime of that purchase.
17. Guarantee Limitations
The Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee does not:
- Provide cash or monetary refunds
- Provide more than one replacement knife per purchase
- Provide a second replacement for a replacement knife
- Reset when ownership of the knife changes
- Reset when a replacement knife is issued
- Guarantee replacement before the three-month waiting period, except at Anthem's discretion for qualifying circumstances
- Guarantee replacement with an identical model if that model is discontinued or unavailable
- Guarantee replacement for intentional abuse, fraud, or other prohibited conduct
18. Changes to the Guarantee
Anthem Knife and Implement reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee for future purchases.
Any modification or discontinuation will not affect the Guarantee applicable to qualifying purchases made before the effective date of the change, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
19. All Sales Final
The Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee promises to replace all damaged, lost or stolen knives (one replacement per purchased knife) but does not reimburse monetary value of knife.
20. Acceptance of Terms
By purchasing an eligible Anthem knife or using the Carry On Lifetime Guarantee, the customer acknowledges and agrees to these Terms and Conditions. The Carry On! Lifetime Guarantee is intended to provide long-term ownership support while protecting the program from repeated or fraudulent replacement claims.
