Awesome product, mediocre service.
January 11, 2024

I was looking for a knife for my wife for Christmas, I started on Amazon but then ended up at your site because of the larger selection. I choose a knife from your site specifically because it said if I purchased before the end of the day it would be there before Christmas. Leading up to Christmas I received no new emails about when I would recieve it so I emailed your customer service and because of your hours of operation didn't get an email back until after the holidays. It did not in fact come before christmas. I assume because I had a message written on the blade, which I also thought was a laser engraving not just printed on. Maybe I overlooked that but I was disappointed non the less. When I received the product I was pleased with the quality of the knife but the supposed gift for spending over $120 ( I believe) wasn't in the box. That's not why I bought the knife but again a bit disappointing. Overall the price and quality seemed good but disappointing service. After all we are only as good as our word and your company's word doesn't seem to mean much in promises to your customers.

Hi Michael! Thank you for your feedback! I apologize that your order did not arrive on time, and that the promotional item went out of stock and you did not receive it. Unfortunately, we have a limited supply and are only available while supplies last. We are happy to hear that you are pleased with the quality of your item. The engraving is laser engraved and does add additional processing time.

Not timely on notification
January 11, 2024

After my 2nd follow up, found out my order was on hold for some "fraud" issue. Not sure what that is, but would have been nice to know sooner so I can order again. Will probably order somewhere else.

These people rock!
January 4, 2024

I've procured many a knife from this company and haven't been disappointed yet. I had an issue with one Balisong that had a chipped tip and an OTF stuck in a state of purgatory. I got an email and a phone call that same day offering a shipping label and refund/store credit. Blade HQ/Grindworks does it right. The products they select to make available are all sweet pocket(or belt) candy& super handy. I've wanted an actual OTF since childhood, thankfully these guys made that a reality. Cheers

Quick and Friendly
January 3, 2024

Quick and friendly answer to my question.

It's a bit weird to have to email to get pricing for something listed below MAP, though. Generally, revealing the price in the cart gets around that. Just assuming that's the case though.

Thanks again!

Lack of Concern
January 10, 2024

Absolutely no communication from Blade HQ until I became very plain and direct. Over a week, in stock, and not shipped with no comms. Just a word about the order I think would be in order. If they truly cared, they sold me a product they would have responded preemptively. If I was behind, which I think may have been the case, who knows. I would have all Management packing orders. This is the third order in the last 3 weeks this has happened. I usually let things go...
