Good knives are hard to find. BladeHQ provided exactly what they promised, in a very timely fashion. And No extra charges! VERY happy with them.
I'm a newbie in the knife buying world and have already made a few mistakes. Blade HQ support has been so patient and helpful. A big helping hand (or should I say helping knife) and shoutout to Cloey and Kim for their timely response and resolution to my order issue. Thanks so much
Hi Barbara!
Welcome to the knife world! We’ve all made a “learning purchase” or two 😄🔪We’re really glad our support team could help get everything sorted out and make the process easy. Cloey and Kim will definitely appreciate the shoutout; patience and quick resolutions are what we aim for.
Thanks for trusting us while you build your collection. We’re always here to lend a helping hand… or a helping knife!

Needed to return the knife I ordered. Very nice quality just too much Knife for myself. I re-ordered a smaller one. Cloey E. Was very nice, very helpful. Enjoyed shopping with Blade HQ
Hi Richard!
Thanks for the kind words! We’re glad the quality hit the mark, even if it turned out to be a bit more knife than you bargained for. Downsizing is a perfectly valid part of the knife journey 😄
We’ll be sure to pass the shout-out along to Cloey. She’ll appreciate it! Enjoy the new, smaller carry, and thanks for choosing Blade HQ!

The Work Sharp knife sharpner clamp does not work well. It does not hold knifes very well. Some knife it won't hold at all. I asked to return it 31 days after it was delivered and they denied the return. Just know, there is no grace on the 30 day return policy.
I bought a knife from a brand I love, and unfortunately I ran into an issue. My return was shipped quickly and so was my refund. Would definelty recommend them and hope to buy more in the future!
Hey Jesse!
Thank you for the kind words! We’re sorry you ran into an issue with the knife, but we’re glad the return and refund were handled quickly and smoothly. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to helping you pick out the next one!

Blade HQ made my return seamless, and Cloey handled the details. I appreciate their dedication to customer satisfaction.
I've found some of my favorite knives at Blade HQ, and I shop with confidence knowing that, in the unusual event that anything isn't right, they've got my back.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear your return was seamless and that Cloey took great care of you. That peace of mind is exactly what we want every customer to have.
It means a lot that you trust us with your knife purchases, and we’re honored to help you find some of your favorites. We’ve always got your back—thanks for being part of the Blade HQ community! ~Tiffany
Received a great knife, but decided that it was a little too similar to the to like models I'd already purchased from Blade HQ. The company made it easy to return the product. They have to know that I'm gonna keep buying, and easy transactions like these only make me more eager to continue to do business with the company.
Hey Bob!
Thanks for sharing your experience! Sometimes a knife just overlaps a little too closely with the collection; we get it! We’re glad the return was easy and that it keeps you confident shopping with us. We’ll be here whenever the next “must-have” finds its way onto your list!

I bought 5 knives from BladHQ/Grindworx over a few weeks. One arrived damaged; company refunded my entire purchase. I decided another was unwieldy; company refunded most, if not all, or purchase price. With the exception of the aforementioned damaged knife, all were good quality. Customer service reps like Melissa and Zach are helpful and friendly. I also appreciate discount for vets.
Hey there!
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re sorry one arrived damaged, but glad we were able to get that taken care of and help with the other return as well. Our goal is always to keep things fair and straightforward so you can shop with confidence.
We’ll be sure Melissa and Zach see the shout-out; they’ll appreciate it! And we’re happy the veteran discount made a difference, too. Thanks again for choosing Blade HQ and Grindworx!

Worked with me on handling a faulty item return, with clear and quick communication from the support staff. Will definitely do business with them again in the future.
Hey there!
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad our team could help get the faulty item taken care of and keep everything clear and timely along the way. We appreciate your support and look forward to helping you again on the next one!
~Lisa
Flawless. So easy. I have purchased a lot of knives from BladeHQ and not many returns. Only 2 or maybe 3. Such an easy transaction. I love buying from you guys. Thanks for the great service!
Hey Jimmy!
Thank you for being such a loyal customer! We really appreciate you sticking with us through all those purchases!
We’re glad the return/exchange process was smooth and easy (that’s exactly how it should be). Hopefully the next one is a keeper, but if not, we’ve always got your back. Thanks again for the kind words and continued support!
~Lisa
Upon learning I had been charged for two duplicate items I was quick to reach out to customer service. After a series communications, Blade HQ quickly realized there mistake, admitted the mistake and refunded the funds within 24 Hrs. Despite being annoyed by the situation, The folks there were respectful, answered quickly and did a great job.
Hey there!
Thanks for your patience while we sorted that out, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention right away. I’m glad our team was able to identify the duplicate charge and get the refund taken care of quickly.
We know situations like that can be frustrating, so we truly appreciate the understanding and the kind words about the team!

Chad P in customer support was a giga Chad for real he was on point and had me all taken care of in record time. Blade HQ and grindworks are top tier knife purchasing experiences. 1000% my #1 knife shops for life. Easy choice. Best selection, best delivery times, best customer support and excellent prices on one of the knife worlds largest inventories.
Hey Aaron!
Chad will be honored to officially hold the title of Giga Chad around here! 😄
We’re glad he was able to get you taken care of quickly; that’s exactly what we aim for every time. Between Blade HQ and Grindworx, we try to keep the selection deep, the shipping fast, and the support sharper than the knives.
We really appreciate the loyalty and the incredibly kind words. We’ll keep doing our best to stay worthy of that #1 spot! 🔪

I've been collecting knives for a couple of years now and have become quite the knife addict. Blade HQ has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. The few other companies that I bought knives from in the past have all been replaced by Blade HQ, to the point that Blade HQ is the only company I purchase knives at. As far as support, they have been spot-on each time I've needed them, from not receiving a knives, to being dumb and buying a left handed knife by accident, or buying the same knife twice, the support has been enjoyable to deal with, quick and just overall easy. I highly recommend Blade HQ. Also, a shout out to Cloey E. With the most recent return. As usual, it was handled perfectly. I received an email notifying me that the knife I returned, I used $50 in reward points to help pay the bill. She sent me a code to use on my next purchase. As small a thing as that was, I appreciate the honesty a great deal because I buy so many knives I wouldn't have remembered that $50! Thank you Cloey E. And the Blade HQ team!
Hey Robert!
This is the kind of “knife addiction” we fully support 😄
We really appreciate you sticking with us and trusting us as your go-to shop, whether it’s tracking down a missing package, fixing an accidentally left-handed purchase, or rescuing you from the classic “wait… I already own this knife” moment (it happens more than you’d think!).
Huge shoutout to Cloey as well, making sure your reward points made it back to you is exactly the level of detail we aim for. Knives are memorable… promo codes, not always!
Thanks for the recommendation and for being part of the Blade HQ family. We’ll keep the edges sharp and the service easy. 🔪

My question was answered in a satisfactory way about when the Spyderco Para 2 Lightweight knife may or may not be coming back in stock. I just wish they would not have sold out so fast! Spyderco needs to make more of them! 😊🔪
Hey Nick!
Those sprint runs disappear faster than a free donut in the break room! 😅
We’re glad we could help with the info! Spyderco definitely keeps us all on our toes! One minute they’re in stock, the next they’ve vanished into collector pockets everywhere. Keep an eye on those notifications… the Para 2 Lightweight has a way of sneaking back in when you least expect it.
We’ll be ready when it does! 🔪
~Lisa
Need something? Go to Walmart or Amazon right? Wrong. You'd be missing the point! -see what I did there.
Shop with your heart assured they got your back, BladeHQ have what you need at the right price and ship just as fast as "them" over there so why not make a difference in your own quality knowing that your new EDC was not only sent to you at your terms but will also be backed by a real company who remember their customers? Who doesn't want actual back up? I do which is why I buy my blades from BladeHQ. Backup matters. You get it here.
Hey Tom!
We definitely see the point, 😄and we appreciate you making it sharp!
Thank you for choosing us over the big-box route. Fast shipping and good prices are great, but having real people behind the scenes who actually care about your EDC landing safely in your pocket is what we aim for every day. Whether it’s a question, a concern, or just knife talk, we’ve always got your back.
Thanks for being part of the BladeHQ crew! We’ll keep the backup ready!

Ordered knife, recieved broken. Requested an exchange but they were out of stock so BladeHq said they would issue refund. Then they charge for me return label. So basically charged me because they sold me junk
Hey there,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry this was frustrating.
With our updated return policy, a prepaid label is issued so the item can be inspected once it arrives back to us. If a manufacturing defect is confirmed or the incorrect item is received, we cover the return shipping. If no defect is found, or the item shows signs of use and is not in new condition, the return label fee is applied. If you would like us to take another look, reach out to our customer support team. We are happy to do so.
We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope this helps clarify our process.

Every time I've purchased a knife from bladeHQ it's been nothing but smooth sailing. And fast shipping. Double win on every single time I've made a purchase. The customer service always gets back to me with an answer really quick as well. Blade hq is definitely one of the best knife sellers there are inside the United States. Thank you blade hq for the fast shipping and for always getting back to me whenever I have a question.
Hey Mat!
Thank you for the awesome feedback! We’re thrilled that every order has been smooth sailing! Fast shipping and fast answers are exactly what we aim for.
We truly appreciate you choosing Blade HQ and taking the time to share your experience. Whenever the next knife question (or temptation 😄) pops up, we’ll be here and happy to help!

Grindworx sells great products. They are quick to settle problems with courtesy and respect their costumes and KNOW their product well Jen was awesome, understanding, and more than fair.
I do and will continue to do business with Grinworx and Blade HQ. YOU HUYS ROCK!
DC
Hey Darren!
Thank you so much for the awesome feedback!
We’re glad Jen was able to take great care of you! Courtesy, fairness, and actually knowing the gear we sell is exactly what we aim for every time. We’ll pass the shout-out her way!
We truly appreciate you sticking with both Grindworx and Blade HQ. Customers like you are the reason we love doing this! You guys rock right back!
~Lisa
2 stars for shipping a complete order and it not taking forever.
No more stars than that because apparently you aren't automatically added to the loyalty program. I bought > $800 of stuff around Black Friday and there was lots of pub about extra points etc. Tried to make another order and saw no points, did separate sign-up for loyalty and asked for credit for BF order. Was told by support this is not possible - only orders w/i last 14 days.
Company's prerogative but I'd rather do business with smaller retailers that care about the customer and can see the forest through the trees. Will look elsewhere for future purchases.
Hi Erik,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration this caused.
Our loyalty program requires enrollment at the time of purchase for points to accrue, and retroactive points are limited to orders placed within the last 14 days. The full Blade Club information, including these details, is available on our website and outlined in the program’s terms and conditions.
We understand how disappointing this can feel after a significant purchase, and we regret that the policy didn’t meet your expectations. We maintain these guidelines so the program stays consistent and fair for all customers.
We do appreciate your past business and wish you all the best moving forward.
~Lisa
Mother nature stopping the mail dead in it's tracks and laughing at me knowing I just bought the 2 day shipping option. But other than that it was all amazing. Loved the knives as did the kids and wife.
Hey Jason!
Sounds like Mother Nature had other plans! 😅❄️ She’s undefeated when it comes to shipping timelines.
We really appreciate your patience through the delay, and we’re glad the knives were worth the wait (especially earning approval from the kids and the wife, that’s a high bar!). Thanks for the kind words about our team and for shopping with Blade HQ. Here’s to a quicker, uneventful delivery next time!
