Fantastic customer service
September 21, 2025

Contacted customer service about an issue with purchase on a Kershaw Limewire. I could not have been listened to and heard any better. Melissa was outstanding, she resolved the issue quickly and professionally. I didn't think anyone provide that anymore! Thank you Melissa for going above and beyond.

I purchased a fixed blade knife from Blade HQ, but knife didn't meet my expectations. I contacted BladeHQ requesting return & refund, w/in 24-48 hrs BladeHQ responded confirming return/refund request w/postage paid return label. I promptly returned knife, once BladeHQ received returned knife, a refund was immediately issued. It could not have been easier, thank u BladeHQ! Look forward to future purchases.

Hey Stacey!
Sometimes a knife just doesn’t “cut it” (literally and figuratively 😅). Glad we could make the return as smooth as a freshly sharpened edge and get that refund back to you without a hitch. Thanks for trusting us, and here’s to the next blade being “the one.” 🔪✨

Cloey E. At customer service really understood my issue and concerns and was very helpful with a fast and friendly service. This was a so much appreciated, different than some knife companies I have had experience with in the past. Fast and friendly service who is knowledgeable about product and keeps me coming back for future purchases. Unlike some of the other companies I had experience with

Sounds like Jen was locked, loaded, and ready to help with your Ballista II! She’s great at giving advice that actually hits the mark (and emailing it, just in case those details slip away like a pocket clip in the couch cushions).
We’re glad she was able to give you options and make the process easy—whether that meant a quick fix at home or setting up a return. Thanks for trusting us with your gear, and here’s to keeping your action as smooth as your future knife flips.

Stellar Issue Resolution Skills
September 16, 2025

I recently placed an order that was shipped through a third-party carrier and was lost in transit. Blade HQ had no hand in creating this issue, but despite this, after I reached out to their customer service team and let them know what happened,(BHQ Team Member Charles, got back to me right away), They were more than happy to offer me more than one potential solution to make it right, but they also did so rapidly, and did it without me even having to make the request. BTW, this is just one example of what I believe is the best customer service out of all the major Internet knife/gear/EDC item/ etc dealers. If you don't believe me, just check the review section of any of the popular knives they sell. Of course, every knife will have the potential to have fans and/or detractors, but many times your notice that the reviews will include a thoughtful response from Blade HQ, and not only that, but you'll also notice that in response to some of the more critical reviews, you will see Blade HQ reach out and offer potential suggestions and solutions to help if possible. Maybe this happens every once in a while on other websites, but I can say confidently that Blade HQ obviously puts in a concerted effort to try and make us happy and it shows.

Hey Michael!
Wow, this review made our whole team do a little happy dance (don’t worry, no knives were involved). We’re sorry your order decided to go on an unplanned adventure in transit, but we’re glad Charles swooped in like a customer service superhero to save the day.
We put a lot of energy into not just fixing problems, but making sure every customer feels taken care of—even if that means turning a shipping disaster into a win. And hey, you caught on to our secret: we actually enjoy hanging out in the review section, solving problems, and occasionally cracking a smile while doing it.
Thanks for recognizing the effort and for sticking with us. We’ll keep bringing the sharp products, sharp service, and (sometimes) sharp jokes.

Damaged shipment
September 13, 2025

I recently ordered and received a ZT knife. As usual the purchase was easy and the shipping with the delivery completed in about a week. Upon receiving the knife and examining it I noticed the carbon fiber scales were chipped and broken. Apparently the knife was dropped and broken prior to shipping. I contacted customer service by phone and they immediately addressed my concern, gave me return instructions and a shipping label. Cloey shipped me a replacement knife the next week. Fine customer service and be assured I will continue to do business with Blade HQ even if my wife does think I have quite enough knives.

Hey Guy!
Sounds like your ZT showed up looking more “Zero Tolerance” than it should have — chipped scales and all 😬. But don’t worry, Cloey wasn’t having any of that nonsense. She swooped in, shipping label in one hand, replacement in the other, like the customer service superhero she is 🦸‍♀️.
We’re glad you’re sticking with us (even if your wife thinks you’ve hit max knife capacity… let’s be real, there’s always room for just one more 😉). Thanks for keeping your collection sharp with Blade HQ!
