Outstanding as always!
June 26, 2024

It's probably been ten years since I've ordered from bhq, (not because of anything negative, just wasn't spending) but I recently got the itch that only a sword could scratch and I decided to give them another go. I used to have an account, but couldn't remember the password so I wound up checking out as a guest and missed the shipping info email. I called the next day to inquire about it, and Zach answered the phone almost immediately, reassured me that the mailman had picked it up that morning, and sent me a new email with tracking within a minute. Great Customer Service, Fast Delivery, and an awesome free little knife, patch, and stickers with the order. There is a reason I'll spend a little bit more to support these guys, they've been a staple in the knife community for as long as I can remember!

Side note, the sword was exactly what I was looking for as well!

I purchased a knife from Blade HQ. Unfortunately, when it arrived, one of the brush aluminum scales had a tiny but deep scratch in it. BHQ does not do exchanges, and they did not have any more of the knife I purchased In stock. Brooke was very kind in explaining this information, And we were able to work out a solution that was an amenable to both parties.

Excellent customer service
June 23, 2024

Wanted to highlight my incredible experience dealing with Brooke H from customer service. I inquired about changing an item in an order that contained an item that was on a great sale. She said it could not be changed but it could be cancelled and I would be refunded. She told me they can still honor the sale even though it ended as well as the gift card I had used my membership points on. I was reimbursed the original order and then immediately after placing the new order, she refunded me the difference of the sale price. Blade HQ is a great company for knife lovers and those looking to get into cutlery and Brooke H was incredibly helpful and friendly.

Return - Easy and Helpful
June 21, 2024

I was working with Jen to return a knife due to a formaldehyde like smell coming from the Micarta scales. I had checked out as a guest, so I wasn't sure how to initiate a return. Jen walked me through everything, and the return process as a breeze. 10/10 would recommend BladeHQ for their professionalism and help.
