FedEx lost my order and during the holiday season. FedEx wasn't responding outside of saying it was on its way. Waited an extra week and sent a quick email to BladeHQ and within a day they offered a refund or to reship my flashlight. It's all in FedEx hands but BladeHQ support was awesome.

Hey Troy!
Thanks for the awesome shoutout! We’re glad our support team could step in when FedEx decided to go on a holiday adventure of its own. While we can’t control the carrier’s sleigh route, we can make sure you’re taken care of, refund or reship, your call.
Knives and flashlights may be cool, but great customer support is our favorite everyday carry. 😄🔦🔪
Thanks for sticking with us, and we appreciate you!

Hey Jon!
Thanks so much for the kind words! 😊 We’re glad we could help get things sorted out; and even happier that it turned out to be an “aha!” moment rather than a real issue. A little email detective work never hurts 🔍😄
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. If you ever have questions again (Flytanium or otherwise), we’re always happy to help! 🔪

Return for store credit
January 18, 2026

I made a mistake and ordered the wrong color and blade configuration. I contacted the customer service ( Cloey E.) to exchange it for a store credit. The response was quick, professional and polite. I feel Blade HQ values their customers and works to establish a friendly and fair relationship. I will continue to do business with BHQ and also recommend them. Respectfully, M. J. Causey

Made It Right!
January 18, 2026

I bought a gravity knife from BladeHQ - It was great for a few days, but then the button bound up and stopped working. I emailed BladeHQ support and Brooke H. Responded promptly to my request for an exchange. She was apologetic and made the process of returning the defective knife easy and painless. I shipped the knife back and within one day of BladeHQ having it back in their possession, they shipped me a replacement - Cloey E. Was also very apologetic for my experience, and walked me through what to expect, and was very helpful with the process as well.

I have bought many knives from BladeHQ, and this experience only strengthens my belief that they are one of the best companies to buy knifes from. Any company can be good to buy from when things go well, but excellent companies make even bad situations better.

Hey Robert!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We truly appreciate it! While we never love it when a knife decides to misbehave, we do love the chance to make things right. 😊🔪
Huge shoutout to Brooke and Cloey for jumping in quickly and making the exchange smooth, painless, and stress-free. We’re glad the replacement made its way to you so fast and that you felt supported every step of the way.
You nailed it: things don’t always go perfectly, but how they’re handled makes all the difference. Thanks for sticking with us and for being such a longtime Blade HQ customer! We’re always here to keep your collection sharp and your experience even sharper!

Holiday Return

Best value in pocket Knives
January 14, 2026

I have purchased 9 auto knives from Blade HQ and each one has been a master work of art. Durability, edge retention, and appearance are the usual qualities and all of mine are no exception. I plan to order one or two more this year with special features that make them forever collectable.

Hey David!
Thank you so much for the incredible review! Nine autos in and still counting, that’s what we call a well-sharpened collection. 🔪😄
We’re thrilled to hear every knife has delivered on durability, edge retention, and looks (because let’s be honest, knives should work hard and look good doing it). We can’t wait to see which special, forever-collectible pieces you add next! It sounds like your lineup is only getting sharper from here!
Thanks again for choosing BladeHQ to fuel the knife obsession. We’re always happy to help you find the next masterpiece!

Best knife retailer to buy from!
January 12, 2026

I bought a knife I thought I would love. Quick shipping. Opened the box and did not like the feel. Emailed BHQ right away and they hooked me up with a return label and SUPER helpful customer service. Gave me a refund really quick with the store credit points I used as well! Thank you guys!
