I would like to say that out of all the knife deliveries. I have not had one issue with Blade HQ. Blade HQ has been prompt in returning reply's to me and has been very helpful. Thanks for your service. Oh I really like my latest purchase of the ESEE6 fixed blade. Question is what am I going to do with the near 100 knives I have when I pass on 😁
In a time when most consumers are afraid to buy online because there's so many scams, you guys went above and beyond. Thanks for restoring my faith in people.
Hi Tom!
That means a lot! Thank you for sharing that!
We know buying online can feel like a gamble sometimes, so hearing we helped restore a little faith is about as good as it gets on our end.
We’ll keep doing our best to take care of business and keep things honest, smooth, and sharp 😄🔪

Had an issue with a knife and even had canceled a request to return it because I had hoped it was a break in issue. I spoke to her in customer service and she helped me to send it back to choose something else that I like.
Thing is, she set up everything in like 5 minutes and it took 24 to 48 hours previously on a return for something normally (which is FAST) so she engaged some warp speed circuit and the return label was in the inbox. That's why I get mine at BHQ!
Hey Eric!
Thank you for the awesome review!
We totally get that first-time hesitation! Finding us mid-YouTube rabbit hole is a bold move 😄🔪, so it means a lot to hear your experience has been such a great one.
Huge shoutout to Alyssa, Chad, and Dallas! We’ll make sure they see this. They really do a great job keeping things smooth, whether it’s a purchase, return, or exchange.
We appreciate the recommendation and your continued support. We’ll keep the sharp, sweet, and shiny things coming!

I purchase from Grindworx often as I collect Italian switchblades, but this is the first time I had to make a return. The error was mine as I ordered the wrong size product. I wasn't sure what the return process was and I hate returning purchases made online but each Grindworx rep I spoke with made it incredibly easy and kept me updated at every step. This morning Cloey E. Went out of her way to follow up with me and confirm that they received and processed my returned items and processed a refund same day as well. Typically you don't hear back from a vendors CS team... they usually just do what they have to and you have to call them to get a status. Best Cust Svc team I have worked with in quite some time. Thank you!
Hey Jason!
Thank you for the incredible review! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this!
We’re glad the team was able to make the return process easy and keep you in the loop the whole way through. Cloey will definitely appreciate the shoutout! Following up and closing the loop is what we’re all about.
And hey, ordering the wrong size happens (even to seasoned collectors). We just try to make the fix smoother than a well-tuned stiletto 😄🔪
Thanks for your continued support with Grindworx! We’ll be here for the next addition to the collection!
~Lisa
I recently had to return an item due to my illness. Cloey E. Was fantastic. She processed my return and was prompt and very courteous. Thanks Cloey!
Hey Jesse!
Thank you for the kind words!
We’re sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with illness, but we’re glad Cloey was able to make the return process easy and take good care of you. Prompt and courteous is exactly her style 😄🔪
We appreciate you taking the time to share this and hope you’re back to 100% soon!
~Lisa
I love the customer service at Blade HQ. Cloey E. Has provided the best customer service. Much appreciated. I will continue to come back for all my future knife purchases. Thank you!
Hey there!
Thank you for the amazing review!
We’re thrilled to hear Cloey took great care of you! She’ll definitely appreciate the shoutout. Providing top-tier service is what we’re all about, and it’s awesome to know it keeps you coming back.
We appreciate your support and look forward to helping with your next blade! We’ll keep the service just as sharp as the knives 😄🔪
~Lisa
Received incorrect knife in box, but the right one was found! Yay! I was stressed I had missed out on the knife. Thanks for the quick response and it was cool to see you guys respond on Reddit too.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
We’re really glad everything got sorted and that you were able to get the right knife—that’s definitely a relief! We understand how stressful that moment can be, especially when it’s something you were excited about.
Happy to hear our quick response (and even the Reddit follow-up!) helped. We truly appreciate your support! ~Tiffany
Long time supporter of BLADE HQ. Always solid supply quantity at great prices. The best service support and always followed through on.
Hey Caleb!
Thank you for the awesome review!
Long-time support like that means a lot to us. We’re glad to hear the selection, pricing, and service have all been hitting the mark! That’s the full Blade HQ package 😄🔪
We’ll keep the supply stocked, the service sharp, and the follow-through solid.
~Lisa
Unproper packing of the product. Unsatisfactory work was done. Your employee should own their job.
No pride in Their job
Please hire someone that actually is happy to have a job. And to have a paycheck.
Hi Edwin,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. That’s definitely not the standard we aim for.
We take a lot of pride in how orders are packed and shipped, so it’s disappointing to hear this missed the mark. It’s also possible the issue occurred in transit, but either way, we’d like to take a closer look.
Please feel free to reach out to us by phone or email, and we’ll review this with you. Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with our team so we can continue to improve.
~Lisa
I called because I was having trouble ordering online. The guy was very helpful and took the time to take my order on the phone. I'm hard of hearing and he was very helpful in answering all my questions. These guys are great to work with.
Hey Ted!
Thank you for the kind words!
We’re really glad our team was able to help get your order placed and take the time to answer all your questions. Making sure everything is clear and comfortable, especially over the phone, is something we take seriously.
We appreciate your support and are always here to help, however you prefer to reach us. And hey, sometimes the old-school way is the best way 😄🔪
~Lisa
Your customer service has been great my concern is that this German switchblade obviously had been never tested at the factory how many of these others are you selling or defective that's my concern it makes you look bad and an inconvenience is your customers I would suggest you take one out of 10 of every one of these you're selling and if you have any other bad ones you contact Linda and ship them all back otherwise it makes your company look bad and it makes that brand look bad
Hi Roger!
Thank you for the honest feedback! We definitely understand where you’re coming from.
We’re really glad to hear our customer service team took good care of you, but we also hear your concern loud and clear. Receiving a knife that doesn’t meet expectations, especially something like a switchblade, is frustrating, and it’s not the experience we want for our customers.
To add a bit of context, many of these items arrive to us sealed from the manufacturer, and we ship them to customers in that same condition. Quality control is primarily performed at the manufacturer level, and we rely on that process for consistency across production. That said, when something slips through, it matters, and we take that seriously.
Feedback like yours helps us identify patterns and share that directly with the brand so it can be reviewed and addressed. We completely understand how this impacts confidence, and we appreciate you speaking up. If anything ever isn’t right, we’ll always work to make it right quickly and without hassle.
~Lisa
Was confused about the tranist of my package as it came to my city yet was not delivered... then the package was shipped to a different state. I know this isn't Blade HQ fault yet they assured me my package is back on track now and will receive it soon which was a big relief to hear.
Hey Chris!
Thanks for your patience and for giving us a shoutout!
Tracking can definitely look a little wild sometimes (package takes a scenic tour of the U.S. 😅), so we’re glad we could help clear things up and get you some peace of mind.
We appreciate you sticking with it, and we’ll be here if you need anything else while your order makes its way home!

Dear Team,
I am writing as a customer who values your shopping experience but is increasingly frustrated with the digital experience you provide. To be frank, in 2026, the absence of a dedicated mobile app for iPhone and Android feels remarkably out of touch with modern standards.
Having to navigate a website through a mobile browser every time is far from a customer-oriented approach. It feels like a hurdle rather than a service. In an era where user convenience is paramount, overlooking the mobile app ecosystem makes the shopping process feel outdated and unnecessarily tedious.
The argument that app development is too complex or expensive no longer holds weight. There are numerous AI-driven tools available today that allow businesses to deploy professional mobile apps at a fraction of traditional costs—or even for free with minimal effort.
If you are looking for efficient ways to bridge this gap, I highly recommend exploring these AI app builders specifically designed for e-commerce:
Appy Pie AI – an excellent tool that can convert your existing website into a mobile app using AI technologies
BuildFire – a powerful platform with pre-built modules tailored for online stores and loyalty programs
GoodBarber – specializes in creating beautiful, high-performance shopping apps with minimal effort
Glide – perfect for turning your product databases into a functional app in a matter of hours
I sincerely hope you will reconsider your mobile strategy and take this step toward a more modern, user-friendly experience. Your customers are waiting for you to catch up.
Best regards,
Rustam Sokolov
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, Rustam! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
You’re absolutely right that a smooth, modern mobile experience matters, and it’s something we’re continuously working to improve. While we don’t currently have a dedicated app, your perspective (and the tools you mentioned) gives us some great insight into what customers are looking for, and we’ll be sure to pass it along to our team.
In the meantime, we’re committed to keeping our mobile site as streamlined and user-friendly as possible. We hear you, and we appreciate you helping us stay sharp.

Chloe was super to deal with per my knife return. I have many fine knives that I have purchased over the years. Thanks, Chloe
Hey Harry!
Thanks for the great review!
We’re glad Cloey took good care of you with your return! She’ll appreciate the shoutout. Sounds like you’ve got quite the collection going, so we’re honored to be part of it 😄🔪
We appreciate your support and look forward to helping you add the next fine blade to the lineup!

Receiving a knife that is hundreds of dollars that has issues can be stressful and disappointing. Some dealers have return policies that charge restocking fees. It is rare to return them and it wasn't BladeHQ's fault in this situation. I bought two Paragon Knives at once during a BladeHQ sale and unfortunately they both made significant rattling noises right out of the package whether the knife was open or closed. One also seemed significantly looser than my other Paragon Knives Phoenix which I had before these purchases. I had my heart set on these knives but it just didn't work out. For the price of each of these knives the excessive noise (like a loose pebble was in them) was a dealer breaker to me. I called BladeHQ before each return to clarify the return process and let them know the weight the return package would likely be. All the customer service representatives were very polite and helpful (Melissa and Dallas). They made sure the return label had the appropriate weight for the package on it. Cloey also reached out to me and provided good communication when the first knife was received and for the return being processed.
Hi John!
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed experience! We really appreciate it.
We’re sorry those knives didn’t quite hit the mark, especially when you had your eye on them. Nothing worse than opening a new blade and hearing it sound like it’s got a tiny maraca inside 😄🔪
That said, we’re glad Melissa, Dallas, and Cloey were able to step in and keep the return process smooth, clear, and hassle-free. Making the “well… that didn’t work” moments easier is all part of the job.
We appreciate you giving us the chance to make it right, and when the next one shows up, we’ll be hoping it’s solid, silent, and exactly what you were after.
~Lisa
Jen was extremely kind and went above and beyond to make me feel like a valued customer. She is an amazing example of the culture I have come to know and appreciate about BladeHQ and I will gladly continue to purchase my EDC gear from BladeHQ as a result of my experience. Well done and kudos to Jen for being so kind and helpful!
Hey Brian!
Thank you for the fantastic review!
We’re thrilled to hear Jen made such a strong impression! Going above and beyond and making customers feel valued is exactly what we’re all about. We’ll be sure she gets the well-deserved kudos!
It means a lot that your experience reflects the culture you’ve come to expect from us. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to helping you gear up for your next EDC addition 🔪
~Lisa

I love everything about Blade HQ. They have almost everything I hope to eventually aquire and the service and support are the greatest! I'm retired Army and never do reviews or surveys for good performance (its expected) but if they really piss me off i maybe will. The fact I'm taking the time to write this is a testament to there business model.
Thank you so much for the incredible review—and for your service. That truly means a lot to us.
We’re honored to hear our team took great care of you and that you had such a positive experience. Sounds like you scored some amazing additions too—the Kershaw Bel Air is a fantastic choice, and that smooth action is definitely hard to put down!
We really appreciate your support and enthusiasm. Enjoy the new lineup, and we’ll be here whenever you’re ready for the next one! ~Tiffany
Cloey E. Sent me a very informational and warm follow-up email regarding my return. It was nice to see some personality shine through an email which rarely happens. It made my day. I hope I get to work with them in the future!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback!
We’re so glad to hear Cloey’s follow-up stood out and made your day—that personal touch really does matter. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her.
We truly appreciate your support and look forward to helping you again in the future! ~Tiffany

Hey Ken!
Thank you for the awesome review!
We’re glad to hear everything has been smooth and that our team has been quick and helpful along the way! That’s exactly what we aim for. And the ESEE 6? Solid choice… that’s a blade that’s ready for just about anything 😄🔪
As for the 100 knives… sounds like you’re building quite the legacy collection! Might be time to start a “who gets what” list, or just make sure they know they’ve got some serious, sharp treasures coming their way 😄
