I'm kinda disappointed
November 11, 2023

I've done business with blade HQ for a long time never ever had issues. Unfortunately my last 2 shipments have been extremely slow in processing and shipping even with expedited shipping I've had to call and physically ask to get my shipments shipped. I hope this issues get fixed.

Wonderful customer service
October 11, 2023

I ordered my first ever knife and being a little "old fashioned" and not very confident with online purchases I emailed and called a couple days after I placed my order just to be sure all was well. My call was answered immediately and not only did the young man do a wonderful job of checking on everything he also upgraded me to free shipping!... Will definitely be doing business with them again as well as recommending to all my people!

Hoping for better execution
November 10, 2023

Faster shipping and USPS is not reliable. If you're knew USPS was shipping uses I would have not placed the order. Your order processing is very slow.

You're better off opening an Amazon store and letting them hold your inventory. They are the gold standard that everybody is going to judge against

Almost 2 weeks, no knives
November 10, 2023

Keep getting the spin and apparently now I have been blocked from the Grindworx Facebook page as well. And I didn't even post anything other than asking about my order since I couldn't get a response through any other means. This entire order has been nothing short of a complete $#*! show. Never again. I'm hoping at this point that I one day just get what I paid for.
As far as blocking me on Facebook, that's just childish. But I'll most certainly use social media to get the word out on how this company handled everything.

Fool me once
November 9, 2023

Ordered items on sale. Sale items were cancelled and others shipped. Refused to provide a raincheck for the cancelled items. Be careful these sales could be bait & switch. I was provided a $10 gift card the cancelled items were a savings of approximately $100. Look before you leap.

AKC Swinguard Stiletto
November 9, 2023

Ordered the referenced knife and added another item to get over the free shipping threshold. Received only the small item with no response from 2 emails to customer service. After sending another email today I was informed my knife was now out of stock and they would refund my money. I asked if I could return the other item and no one responded. I just wanted the knife I ordered. This was my first…and last order from Blade HQ. I will stick with SMKW and knifeworks.com, people I've grown to trust, in the future.

Knife pre-order, and package arrival
October 9, 2023

Had a slight issue with payment on a pre-order that was resolved instantly by Wendy! I also received my Civivi Clavi today, which blew my expectations away. What a great design.

Trying to match Amazon prices
November 9, 2023

Lisa was very helpful. However, BHQ decided not to match prices. I will save $13 with the least favorite company (Amazon).

Order canceled
November 8, 2023

Terrible, the order a place was canceled by third party fraud. No reason given. Strongly recommend going to Recon one or Eknives. Large box distributors just don't care. No call or anything recieved
