Victorinox warranty for knives & multi-tools
The short version
Victorinox doesn't cover everything, but keeps knife or multi-tool and electronics and accessories covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 7 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Victorinox's published warranty, checked October 2026.
