Excellence service
March 16, 2026

I order two knifes from Blade HQ and I also have my packages delivered to my work place due to getting packages stolen from home address. My issue was not the fault of Blade HQ It was my darn fault for not putting the whole address so that I could get my order. Called Blade HQ and Dallas took care of my issue so that if there is a delay in order its my fault. Thank you Dallas for the understanding.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration this situation caused and understand how concerning it can be when an order doesn’t move as expected.
In this case, we did attempt to process a refund back to the original payment method; however, the refund was declined due to it being an international payment. Because of that, our team offered store credit as an alternative so we could still ensure the value of your purchase was returned to you as quickly as possible. You may also wish to check with your card company or bank regarding the declined refund, as they may be able to provide additional details.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and any confusion this may have caused. Our goal is always to make things right for our customers. If you’d like us to take another look at the situation, our support team would be happy to help.

When my knife came in the screws do not thread all the way down on the pocket clip. This leaves the clip loose and wiggles. It is a known problem because BHQ rep told me they had the same issue with their spyderco. Solution buy a new clip from another manufacturer or exchange. I do not want to pay more money for a knife i spent hundreds on nor do I want to send it back to maybe have the same issue and be out the money and a knife for awhile. I order alot from BHQ and I've always had stellar reviews. I just feel being in the zirconium tier and the amount of knives I buy from BHQ a clip could have just been sent or a credit to my very active account. Not happy with experience. First phone call about this to BHQ I was originally told to contact spyderco who told me I could pay to send it to them and have it worked on or contact the dealer. Not happy with any of this.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issue with the pocket clip on your Spyderco Para Military 2 CruWear. Unfortunately, we do not have replacement Spyderco clips available to send out.

We are happy to offer a return for a full refund if you’d prefer not to keep the knife. I also sent you an email regarding this so we can help get it resolved for you as quickly as possible. We truly appreciate your support and the many orders you’ve placed with us over the years. ~Tiffany

I had asked a question a couple of days ago regarding engravings on a Kershaw Launch 8, and I was fortunate enough to have Chad help me out. He looked into my issue and got back to me way faster than I expected, since I asked on a Friday night. I had my answer very quickly, and it was a super easy process with Chad's help. If you're reading this, I really appreciate you Chad, and keep up the great work 😁

Product Return
March 13, 2026

I ordered a knife from Blade HQ. I wasnt satisfied with the feel of the handle (no fault of BladeHQ) and requested a return. They emailed me a return lable, I put it back in the original packaging and dropped it off at the post office. It took about a week for them to process it and they issued me a store credit (per request) they will also refund it to your CC. I ordered a new knife and something similar happened. This time a ordered a automatic and wasnt satisfied with the feel of the opening mechanism. I guess my only excuse is sometimes you need to feel it in your hand and I dont have any high quality knife stores near me. So I repeated the process and just got my second refund. I just want to state that by no means was my returns the fault of BladeHQ. The products description was accurate, it just wasnt the right fit. I will say this. The communication between BHQ employees and myself was top notch. They answered every question I had within 24 hrs. They definitely go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase. Definitely a company with integrity.

Outstanding Customer Service
March 8, 2026

I had ordered the wrong knife as I had erroneously selected one with a different blade type from the one I wanted while shopping online with BladeHQ. As I explained my error, BladeHQ understood and processed a return label for me to return the item. Upon receipt of the item back, they immediately processed the credit to my credit card. Cloey E was exceptional, professional, effective, and friendly in providing this outstanding customer support. I have since place another order with BladeHQ given the excellent product selection and customer service.

Auto knives and the disabled.

Hi Robert!
Thank you so much for the 5 stars! We truly appreciate the support! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We understand how frustrating automatic knife laws can be, especially when they vary by state. While certain allowances may exist, California shipping restrictions limit what we’re able to send into the state, and we have to follow those regulations consistently.
We’re grateful for your understanding and your business. If you’d ever like help finding a California-compliant option that fits your needs, we’d be more than happy to assist. We’re always here to help however we can 🔪
