Great customer service
November 1, 2025

I experienced a slight problem with an automatic knife that I purchased. They accepted my return and automatically sent out a replacement. I really appreciate great customer service. I plan on using you in future purchases once again thank you.

First Husband & Wife Microtech OTFs
November 1, 2025

I recently had some issues placing an order and using a debit gift card, but the customer service representative (Jen) from BladeHQ was incredibly helpful and patient in sorting everything out. Honestly, I almost took my business elsewhere because it was a big purchase, but the level of genuine care and excellent support I received convinced me to stick with BladeHQ. Their outstanding customer service really made the difference and ensured I went through with the transaction.

Easy to deal with.
October 30, 2025

I am equating Bladehq to Amazon in my mind. I've been a customer for a few years, I've only had to return one thing, it was just as easy as an Amazon return. Cloey E. Processed it for me, reached out to me and prompted me to complete this survey.

Very satisfied with my experience
October 30, 2025

Cloey E. Was extremely helpful with resolving my situation regarding a broken spring in a knife that I had just recently purchased. They offered several options and the process couldn't have been any easier than it was. Blade HQ has amazing customer service. First time having an issue with any of their products but moving forward it will be nice to have the piece of mind to know that they stand behind the products they sell.

I've been purchasing from bladehq for years now. They have added a rewards program, improved their returns process, and continue to be a pleasure to work with. Both through email and phone call, they have positive, competent people who are eager to help and knowledgeable. I use them as a veteran of the hobby and happily recommend them to newcomers. Thankful for companies like them, especially in 2025. Good people who I happily purchase from and recommend to others.

A credit to the company
October 25, 2025

I was weirded out this morning. Insomnia from business stuff, and no clue where my recent purchase was floating around in the aether. Took a quick break from work and called Blade's custy service because I never received a tracking number. Melissa picked up and in perfect Southern Belle fashion nailed the issue. I have to explain as a Southerner myself, I truly appreciate the sound of the South in the vouces of others, and Melissa was music to my ears. When I ended the call, I was grinning from a little bit of Dixie.

BLIND DATE
October 19, 2025

I'd never ordered a knife online before, so buying from BHQ was a bit of a stab in the dark. I ended up getting the Microtech model I wanted at a better price than anywhere else. The order process was quick, smooth, and right on time. Unfortunately, I'm pushing 80, and while I loved the OTF knife, my arthritis made it hard to consistently activate the blade. I reluctantly returned it to BHQ, and they handled the refund quickly and without any hassle. In the meantime, they sent me an email with a half-off deal on a Gerber I'd been eyeing. I ordered it, received it promptly, and it's perfect - easy to operate and exactly what I needed. I highly recommend BHQ for your knife needs and will definitely be buying from them again.

Thank you for sharing your story. We absolutely loved your “stab in the dark” line! We’re so glad your experience with Blade HQ turned out to be a match made in knife heaven. 😊 It’s great to hear the Gerber hit the sweet spot, and we’re happy we could make the return process simple along the way. We truly appreciate your trust. Here’s to many more sharp choices ahead! 💙🔪

In my dealings with Blade HQ I have found them to be friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
No long hold times, customer support all speak English as their FIRST language, which is always nice, and they do what they say without having to be chased with follow up emails or phone calls.
In all a very pleasant experience, I had forgotten what customer service really meant, thanks BHQ for reminding me
