Had a knife that didn't turn out the way I expected, had an overall easy return experience, as well as a nice follow-up message from Alyssa T. Thanks for easy transactions all around!
The refund process is very fast and I had no issues they even gave me a direct refund even though I said store credit is perfectly fine as I like getting my knives from them. I am definitely going to be making more purchases from them in the future
Hey Fernando!
Thanks for the kind words! We're glad to hear the refund process was smooth—just the way it should be. While we appreciate your willingness to take store credit, we’re happy to get you taken care of in whatever way works best for you. Can’t wait to see what blades you pick up next—thanks for being part of the BHQ crew! 🔪😄

If a blade is what your looking for then look no further. Fantastic customer service! Turnaround time including engraving was super fast. Can't wait to get my little piece to add to my collection. Thank you BladeHQ. I look forward to my next purchase.
Wow — thank you for the awesome feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that everything from the customer service to the turnaround time (engraving included!) met your expectations. It means a lot to us that you’re adding another piece to your collection from Blade HQ! ~Tiffany
BLADEHQ goes above and beyond what it takes to earn my trust in an online vendor. Sometimes I struggle with new technology but all employees take the time to walk me through the order process. Many Thanks to all.
Your message absolutely made our day — thank you! We’re so glad to hear our team could walk you through everything and make the process smooth (even if the Band-Aids might say otherwise 😄). Your trust means the world to us, and we’re always here to help however we can.
Thanks again for the kind words — and happy collecting! ~Tiffany
Blade HQ is always my go-to for knives! If I get something in that doesn't quite fit or feel right, they make it super easy to return and start my search over again for that perfect knife! Shout out to Alyssa T. And her team for helping make it happen!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled to be your go-to for knives and glad to hear the return process has been smooth when something isn’t quite the perfect fit. That’s exactly what we aim for!
Alyssa T. And the team will be so happy to hear your shout-out — we’ll be sure to pass it along! Thanks again for your support, and we’re excited to help you keep hunting for that perfect knife.~Tiffany
Until recently, I was not really too familiar with Blade HQ. I knew they sold knives, and I had looked at them of course but I didn't really know, what an excellent company they are. I am speaking mostly about customer service. Let's face it, there are a slew of knife companies to choose from as a consumer. So then how do you decide which one or ones to go to when you want a knife. I would imagine this is true for most people. So, in this case, I bought a knife that I decided, I didn't want to keep it, returned it and just had a great experience with the Blade HQ customer service dept. doing so. No hassle for the return, and they even paid for the return shipping label to send it back. To me that is excellent service as we live and shop in the world of Websites and online retailers, we sometimes get things ship to us that we decide when they arrive, they just aren't what we were looking for. So, when or if this happens to you, rest assured, Blade HQ will have your back and make the process of returning a breeze. Thanks so much. John
Wow, John—thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! You're absolutely right—there are plenty of places to shop for knives, but it's how you're treated after the sale that really makes the difference. We're so glad we could make your return process smooth and hassle-free. Shopping online shouldn't feel like a gamble, and we're here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way. Welcome to the Blade HQ family—we’re happy to have your back (and your blades)! 🔪😊

Got a knife that needed to return, probably my fault. I wanted something engraved and it came blank. But I think I didn't get the wording right. Regardless, these folks are seemingly genuine in their desire to help you. This company gets the engraved product out faster than any other i use. I wish the offered customizing i. E. you could chose blade material, handle, color, etc. like Benchmade does. But overall these guys are definitely top shelf. I've bought a number of pieces from them. Never any issue.

Hey Kent!
When excellent becomes the norm, we know we’re doing something right—thank you for that awesome vote of confidence! 😄 We’re so glad our team was able to catch that accidental order and get things swapped out without a hitch. Dozens of knives in and still going strong—we truly appreciate you making us your go-to crew. Here’s to many more smooth clicks of the “Place order” button (only when you’re ready this time 😉).

I started with BHQ, roughly 10 years ago. This is why, they take care of their own. I've rarely and I mean rarely needed support, but things happen (life happens.) and when they do. It's people like Cloey E. And Zach A. That go above and beyond. Couldn't ask for more... Another happy customer here..
Hey Eric!
Wow—ten years with Blade HQ? That’s some serious loyalty, and we’re honored to be part of your knife journey! 🔪 Life definitely throws its curveballs, but we’re so glad Cloey and Zach were there to catch this one for you. They’re absolute rockstars when it comes to turning bumps in the road into smooth sailing. Thanks for sticking with us through it all—here’s to many more sharp additions to your collection and smooth experiences ahead! 😄🙌
~Lisa
Yet again, another well rounded respectable company! They have low pricing, occasional pop sales, at times promo add-ons with purchases, fast free shipping, an extensive easy to navigate website, a wonderful customer service team, and an excellent return policy. I have no reason to shop for knives anywhere else!
Hey Kevin!
What a review! 🥹 You just hit all our favorite keywords like you were speedrunning a knife-themed crossword puzzle—low pricing, fast shipping, epic sales, top-tier customer service... we might blush a little. 😄
We’re seriously stoked to be your one-stop knife shop, and it means a lot that you’ve found so many reasons to stick with us. Thanks for making our day—now let’s keep those blades (and dad jokes) sharp. 🔪😉

My experience with BladeHQ's customer service was incredibly disappointing and represents a perfect example of how not to handle customer issues. After nearly two weeks of dealing with a FedEx shipping hold, where FedEx explicitly told me multiple times that "the shipper needs to call FedEx to remove the hold," I provided BladeHQ with the specific phone number and tracking information needed to resolve this with a simple call. Instead of making that call, they chose to unilaterally refund my order without my consent or request.
Jen's communication pattern throughout this ordeal shows exactly what's wrong with their approach. When I first explained my frustration with FedEx and that they told me BladeHQ needed to contact them, her initial response was that I should "reach out to FedEx to see what they advise," completely ignoring that I had just detailed my terrible experience with them. After I pointed out this disconnect, she escalated to her manager, but then started a pattern of empty responses. When I provided the FedEx contact number and tracking details on June 2nd, writing "You just need to call the number here: *******339," her response was simply "I have sent this over to my manager to see if she is able to help in any way." When I followed up asking "Is she able to help," I got only "She is still currently looking into this for you." When I thanked her, she replied "You are welcome," adding nothing useful.
The breaking point came when I made one final, direct request: "Will you please make the phone call. I'm told by FedEx, whatever that's worth, you just need to make the phone call to release the package." Instead of doing this, Jen processed a refund I never wanted, closing with her usual "Have a lovely day!" and request for survey feedback. When I expressed confusion and very obvious frustration, asking why they canceled the order out of the blue, then asking, "I didn't ask for a refund... Instead of making a phone call you decided the best alternative is to just cancel it entirely?" her final response was the most tone-deaf yet: "I see that you were able to connect with one of our phone agents and get this resolved. I'm glad we could assist you!" followed again by "Wishing you a wonderful day!" and another survey request.
This whole thing shows everything wrong with BladeHQ's customer service, robotic responses, avoiding simple solutions, and performative politeness that's actually insulting when nothing got resolved. The supervisor later told me I was one of six similar cases, yet rather than just having people make phone calls to fix shipping holds, BladeHQ would rather write off merchandise and alienate customers. If you're thinking about ordering from them, just know that if anything goes wrong with shipping, they'll do the bare minimum to help you find a resolution.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I want to start by sincerely apologizing for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced — we hear you, and I understand how disappointing this situation must have been.
I also want to take a moment to acknowledge how discouraging it can be to feel unheard, especially when you're making every effort to assist in resolving an issue. We absolutely value your time and your trust, and I’m sorry that our communication and actions didn’t reflect that clearly.
To clarify what happened on our end: once you provided the tracking information and phone number for FedEx, our team did reach out to the carrier and attempted to have the hold lifted. Unfortunately, despite our efforts and multiple contact attempts, FedEx would not release the package to proceed with delivery. We completely understand how frustrating that is — especially since you were given the impression that a simple call would solve the issue.
After exhausting those options and with the package still undeliverable, we ultimately made the decision to refund the order. This was not meant to disregard your preferences, but rather to ensure your funds were returned promptly instead of continuing to leave the order in limbo. In hindsight, we could have communicated that more transparently and for that, I truly apologize.
We also take your feedback about our communication seriously. Robotic or overly scripted messages are not our intention, and we’re actively working to ensure our team balances professionalism with empathy and practical support.
Your experience matters to us, and we appreciate you highlighting where we fell short. While we can’t change what happened with this order, please know that your feedback will be shared internally so we can improve how situations like this are handled going forward — especially when it comes to proactive communication and escalation. ~Tiffany
Cloey E helped process a return easily and hassle free. Great customer service is why I support a business. I can buy the product anywhere.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear Cloey E took great care of you — she’s awesome, and we’ll be sure to pass this along to her. You're absolutely right — great service makes all the difference, and we’re grateful you choose to support us.
Looking forward to helping with your next adventure! ~Tiffany

If anything else comes up or you need help down the road, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always here for you!~Tiffany
I recently had some shipping issues. My package was hung up in route. The representative was extremely helpful and walked me through the process. The representatives that worked with me explained the process clearly. It required a short waiting period and was informed when to call back to start the process of getting my purchase reshipped. I felt that I had someone in my court at all times. I ended receiving both packages and the representative walked me through the process of returning the duplicate shipment.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! While we’re sorry to hear your package hit a snag along the way, we’re thrilled that our team was able to guide you through the process and make things right. Shipping hiccups can be frustrating, but it means a lot to know you felt supported and informed every step of the way — that’s exactly the kind of care we strive to provide.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during the waiting period, and we’re glad everything worked out in the end. If you ever need us again, know we’re just a call or click away — always in your corner!
Thanks again for being part of our community! ~Tiffany
Blade HQ's Customer care rep Zac A was just the Best.
He was Prompt, Courteous, Professional and easy to speak with while resolving my issue.
Blade HQ needs more employee's just like him.

I didn't like 1 of the knives I purchased, I was given a no hassle refund & a option to purchase something else. To me, that's "Top Notch".
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're sorry to hear that one of the knives didn’t hit the mark, but we’re glad the return process was smooth and hassle-free. Our goal is to make sure you're happy with what you carry, and it means a lot to hear that you felt taken care of.
“Top Notch” is exactly what we’re aiming for — thanks for the kind words! We hope your new choice is a perfect fit, and we’re always here if you need help picking out your next blade.
Stay sharp~ ~Tiffany
