Order canceled.
August 8, 2025

I wanted to cancel an order I made right after purchase because I decided on a different knife. Email was fast and efficient which is not usually the case. Great job!

I can typically find what I want, and at a good price. Shipping is slow through USPS and not their issue but would recommend UPS, or FEDEX.

Return experience
August 7, 2025

I had purchased an AKC F-16 that the switch had broken off of. I contacted customer service and they informed me That I could ship it back and return it for in-store credit or a refund since I was still within their return window. They were very helpful and patient along the way! Just ordered another knife using the in-store credit!

Hey Noah!
That’s how it’s done! 💪 We're sorry the F-16 gave out on you, but we’re glad our team could step in and make things right. Major props for putting that in-store credit to good use—sounds like your next blade is already en route to glory. Thanks for sticking with us, and happy slicing! 😄🔪

Excellent customer service
August 2, 2025

I've purchased from Blade HQ several times in the past, but this particular time Fed Ex lost my package in transit. Fed Ex gave me the run-around, but Jen from Blade HQ was very helpful in determining what had happened and immediately issuing a refund. I'm very pleased with their prompt and courteous customer service and will definitely continue being a Blade HQ customer.

Microtech and QSP purchase
August 2, 2025

First time I buy from BladeHQ and I can only speak highly of it, super courteous and helpful staff, the only criticism I can make but which generally concerns purchases from the United States is that buying from Italy there are more or less long waiting times and customs but the American market is full of fantastic blades.

Hey Dario!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Blade HQ for your purchase—we’re thrilled to welcome you aboard! 🇮🇹✈️🇺🇸 We're glad our team made a great first impression and appreciate your understanding about the international wait times and customs process (we agree, the American blade scene is worth the wait!). Here's hoping your new Microtech and QSP make up for the travel time—enjoy those fantastic blades, and we hope to see you back soon! 🔪😊
