When it comes to knives, a lifetime warranty is very often a bunch of bunk. If you break it, the company is just going to say “well a knife isn’t made to pry off such and such,” and you will be out of luck.
I reached a point in life where I refuse to carry a knife that is over $100, and generally I don’t even approach that number. It just isn’t worth it, when there is a virtual guarantee, in my case, that I will use it for “something stupid,” and break it.
Enter the “Beast,” a 3/8″ thick monster from Hoffner Knives. It comes with a lifetime pry warranty. That assumes, I guess, that no matter what you use the knife for, it’s covered.
I would like this better if it was a folder, because I’m not carrying a belt knife every day, but maybe we’ll get one in from Hoffner at some point and put it through it’s paces. I know I have at least one storage trailer that has a ridiculously sticky door.
The most important detail, and we talk about this in the very short video, is that Hoffner has been in business since 1985. With a “lifetime” warranty, lifetime can mean your lifetime, or the company’s lifetime. In this case, it’s probably a good bet that your warranty will last at least as long as you remember that you have it. At $179, and totally customizable, I think it’s a decent buy, and a great investment.

Love my folding knife that I purchased at the American Great Outdoor Show. Great price and even better the knife. thank you.
At half the cost I’ll take my Ontario RD TANTO
As soon as the weather warms up and I finish my 2X72 belt grinder, I’ll be making a few, kind of like that, and 3/8″ thick for myself!
The link for that knife states that it is 5/16″ thick, which is definitely not the same as 3/8″. Nothing wrong with 5/16th, but I would like to see a knife that is 3/8. Just sayin’….. 🙂
I’m holding a Hoffner Beast in my hand right now and I can truly attest that is indeed a full 3/8ths of an inch thick from tip to butt. It’s similar to a crowbar with a cutting edge and point than just a regular knife.
I’d just get a Busse and I know it won’t break for my life time or anyone else’s that gets it after me.
I’ve tried, can’t break them.
