Blade HQ review
January 31, 2025

I had contacted customer service to advise about the safety of one of the knives they sold.One of their customer service agents Jen then contacted me and gave a very well thought out dissertation on the advantages, disadvantages and some ways to make the knife more user friendly for me.Yes for me.I had stated my use for the knife and Jen customized her very lengthy response to my concerns. Customer Service Extraordinaire.

I was helped today with a question about the color of a knife handle. The BHQ folks took photos of the actual knife and emailed them to me. The photos online were indeed different, so this process was very helpful. I'll definitely continue to be a BHQ customer and recommend them to friends!

I ordered a knife on 27 DEC and a label was made but it never got shipped. Eventually, I contacted customer support and Jen took care of it like, immediately. A week later, I had the knife I had ordered.
I guess it's impossible to know what happened to the original. Probably got a label and was never picked, or maybe it got loaded onto a truck and not scanned, then lost in the FedEx behemoth. They are small boxes.
In any event, Jen sent the replacement knife along and fixed the issue.

Excellent Company.
January 25, 2025

Excellent products, excellent company.
They shipped my order within 24hrs of payment.There happened to be a severe winter storm which caused a shipping delay (at no fault of the company).
When I contacted them with some questions, a customer service representative named Kim promptly reached out to me and immediately resolved my concerns about the shipping delay. I had my order the next day. Great customer service, top notch products, excellent company.
I look forward to doing business with them in the future. I highly recommend.
Sincerely, a satisfied customer.

God bless

Lazy Customer Service
January 24, 2025

I was interested in a small fixed blade knife I saw on the BladeHQ site. While researching, I found that the actual maker of the knife had them on sale on his site for $100 less than BHQ. I wrote BladeHQ asking if they could match that price. After a week, I received a request to provide the "item number" on BHQ's own site even though I had provided a URL to their product page and also to the maker's product page. I responded to that request explaining how to find the product on their own site, only to be told "Unfortunately, the website you provided does not appear to be an authorized dealer. I'm truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we are unable to price match from this site." It is the maker's own site! How can it not be authorized? How can a CSR actually think it is okay to write that as a response?

Pocket knives are my hobby. I purchase a fair number and purchase from multiple online retailers. BladeHQ is consistently the most likely to not ship promptly, be delayed in responding to customer service inquiries, or just pull nonsense like this.

BladeHQ - I just ordered directly from the maker's site. No plans to order from you in the future. To many other retailers with the same products providing a better experience.

BladeHQ attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Hello Mark,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced during your recent interaction with us.
We understand how important clear and accurate communication is, especially when it comes to inquiries like price matching. While we strive to offer competitive prices and great service, we clearly fell short of properly addressing your request and understanding the details you provided. For that, we’re truly sorry.
We also apologize if our response regarding the maker’s website as an 'unauthorized dealer' was confusing or seemed dismissive. This was an oversight on our part, and we will review this situation internally to ensure our team is better equipped to handle similar situations more effectively in the future.
Your experience matters to us, and we’re disappointed that we didn’t meet your expectations this time. While we regret losing your business, we appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify areas where we can improve. If you ever decide to give us another chance, we’d love the opportunity to provide the level of service you deserve.
Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we wish you the best in your knife-collecting journey.
