Returns, Refunds & Guarantee

Last updated: July 31, 2026

We built Honewood to keep your knives sharp, and we back it with a real guarantee. Here's exactly how returns, the Sharp-Again money-back guarantee, and the hardware warranty work - no fine print games.

The Lifetime "Sharp-Again" Money-Back Guarantee

Use your Honewood for as long as you own it. If it doesn't keep your knives sharp, or you're simply not satisfied, contact us and we'll refund your purchase in full - including original shipping. This is our headline promise, and it's stronger than a standard return window on purpose: you get real time to use it in your own kitchen before deciding.

• Applies for a lifetime from the delivery date.
• Covers the full amount you paid.
• We provide a prepaid return label - you don't pay to send it back.
• Everyday use is expected and fine. We just ask that you actually tried it.

To claim it, email support@honewood.com with your order number and a sentence on what didn't work for you. That last part isn't a hurdle - it helps us make the product better.

Standard Returns (change of mind)

If you change your mind, you can return an unused Honewood in its original condition and packaging within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the product price.

• The item must be unused and in resalable condition, with all original packaging and accessories.
• For change-of-mind returns, you cover the return shipping cost.
• If you're returning it because you're not satisfied with the sharpening, use the Lifetime Sharp-Again guarantee above instead - that one's on us.

2-Year Warranty on the Bearing & Magnet

The two parts that make a rolling sharpener work - the roller bearing and the magnet that holds your knife - are covered for 2 years from the delivery date against defects in materials and workmanship. If either fails under normal home use, we'll repair or replace it at no cost to you, and we cover the shipping.

The warranty does not cover accidental damage, drops, misuse, or normal cosmetic wear to the walnut body. If something's wrong, email us with your order number and a short description or photo and we'll sort it out.

How to start a return or claim

1. Email support@honewood.com with your order number and which of the above applies (Sharp-Again guarantee, standard return, or warranty).
2. We'll reply with confirmation and the return address to use. Please don't ship anything back before you hear from us - it slows down your refund.
3. For guarantee and warranty claims, we'll include a prepaid label. For change-of-mind returns, we'll give you the address to ship to.

Because your product ships from a fulfillment partner, the correct return address depends on your item and location, so we confirm it when we approve your return rather than printing one address here.

When you'll get your refund

Once we receive and check your returned item, we'll approve your refund and issue it to your original payment method within 5-10 business days. Your bank or card provider may take a few more days to post it to your account. For guarantee claims, we can often start the refund as soon as the return is on its way back.

Damaged or wrong item

If your order arrives damaged or you received the wrong item, email us within 7 days of delivery with a photo. We'll send a replacement or a full refund - your choice - and cover all shipping. You won't need to pay anything.

Questions

Not sure which option fits your situation? Just email support@honewood.com and we'll point you to the right one. When in doubt, the Sharp-Again guarantee has you covered.
