## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this warranty?**
A: Limited Life time warranty against manufacturer defective. The warranty is not covered chip or wrong usage caused damage.

**Q: I prefer buying a whole piece of ribs and cut through bones into short ribs. Is this the right cleaver to do the job ? Is the blade fragile?**
A: Our knife could only cut chicken bone. It won't be able to cut through the rib bone. It's too hard for knives. There is no knives could do this kind of job. It's going to damage the blade. If you want to cut the rib bone. You may need to use high power electric saw to cut that. If you have Chinese supermarket around your area, when they sell the pork rib. They could cut into short piece using this kind of table electric saw.

**Q: Is this particular model the heaviest of the brand? I saw in one of the pictures the spine of the blade is 3.5mm but the specs on this page say 3.2mm.**
A: sorry for the misunderstanding, the current inventory is about 3.5mm thick. This is the most heavy chopper we have.

**Q: I bought this Zhen clever about a year ago. The blade edge broke a chunk out using the clever chopping some meat. Is there any warranty or replacement**
A: Please kindly contact Zhen Premium Knife directly to claim the warranty. Thanks.
