Jen is awesome
November 17, 2025

BladeHQ is my go-to place to browse and shop for blades. I bought a bunch of multitools yesterday for gifts but forgot to give myself the free Trapper knife. Jen was so kind to take care of that. It's a big deal nowadays to have friendly service and I am most appreciative that she took the extra effort to help me. I am most grateful.

Friendly, personal service is something we truly care about, and it means a lot to hear that it made a difference. Enjoy those multitools (and your well-earned Trapper, too) ~ Tiffany

A Tale of Two Phone calls.
November 14, 2025

I ordered the Pirhana Predator from Blade HQ, and ended up making a couple of mistakes on my order form. Thus the two phone calls. Both times I spoke with Melissa. I can't overemphasize how helpful and polite she was. And Blade HQ also had my order out the door in less than 24 hour. Great shopping experience. Can't recommend enough! 🌞

Inventory error fixed ASAP!
November 13, 2025

There was an error in my recent order with BladeHQ. I emailed in and originally dealt with Melissa G. In Customer Service. The knife I originally ordered was no longer in stock and she gave me several options to help correct the error. Unfortunately, I had to return both knives. Cloey E. Received the knives, was able to issue a quick refund and made the whole process feel seamless. Both of them went above and beyond. It seems almost impossible to find great or even average customer service these days, but not at BladeHQ!

Hi there! We’re sorry for the frustration! Nobody likes a surprise hiccup in their knife delivery. Your most recent order was delivered yesterday, and a return has been set up for your previous order, which has been delivered. Tracking emails were sent successfully, so you should have those notifications. While we do our best to ensure every knife meets our high standards, if anything isn’t perfect, our team is happy to make it right. Thanks for giving us the chance to turn this around. We’ll keep working to keep every order smooth, sharp, and ready for action! 🔪

Great Quality and Care
November 9, 2025

I ordered my boyfriend's birthday gift from here as he is a knife enthusiast with a long wish list. I got a high quality knife and sharpening stone. The Blade HQ team included a happy birthday note to him and even some extra stickers as a bonus gift, which really made his day. This is a company that will provide you with a great reliable product, which is a crucial feature for anyone who likes knives, and their team truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend purchasing from Blade HQ.

Return Experience
November 8, 2025

I have bought from blade HQ for years, and have never had a bad experience. This was my first experience with their money back guarantee, and it was predictably excellent. Every step of the process was quick and stress free. To wrap up the experience I received a very nice email from Chloe E letting me know my return had been processed. Price, selection, customer service, you can't go wrong with Blade HQ!

Frustrating turned to happiness
November 8, 2025

Ordered a Kershaw 7500, with engraving. Upon receipt, the blade wasn't deploying right (to no fault of BHQ). I thought, let me contact Kershaw direct to take care of the issue, since it was engraved, I knew I couldn't return it. I signed up for that. What a rigamarole that was. Kershaw Direct made it basically impossible for me to get my new knife back. After reaching out to Jen N in customer service, she got back to me and expressed empathy in my situation. The customer service experience was impeccable. Truly, no better customer service. She got a replacement knife out to me. ENGRAVED. And took care of me. No silly back and fourth, Just straight up handled it. Was beyond my expectation. They truly gained a forever customer with me. Bad experience turned good. These people know how to take care of people. Which is super important in a world where good customer service no longer exists.

Zappos for knives!
November 3, 2025

I've been using Blade HQ for awhile but only recently signed up for an account. I was looking for a new OTF and ordered a Kershaw Livewire with the tiger stripe blade. I liked it but I didn't love it. The pocket clip is way too small and the handle is way too hard to get a hold of when it's in a pocket. I sent it back after filling out the RA Info and they issued my refund on receipt of the returned product. The entire team at B HQ starting with the initial order, to my inquiry about whether they sold an alternative pocket clip for the Livewire, and then into the return process... it was all professionally handled. Chad even sent me a website to search out alternative pocket clips at knifekits.com. Cloey gave me an update on the return and was really friendly. B HQ makes the order and return process easy peasy. It's like Zappos for knives!
