The blade tip and edge are parts of a knife which normally are exposed to wear and tear, these parts are not covered by our warranty unless it’s obvious that the damage is a result of a material defect. Only when we have examined the knife we are able to have an opinion about that.
A knife is a precision cutting tool and should be handled with care and consideration. Light blows on the blade spine (with a branch or small piece of wood) to split tender kindling from a dry, straight-grained pine or similar can be done, for splitting firewood in general, an ax is a correct tool. NOTE that cold makes all steel brittle. Never pound the blade spine with any other type of tool like for example a hammer or a sledgehammer, then you might break the knife. The photos below shows the result of incorrect use.
