Immediate Response!
March 28, 2026

I inquired about a Case Cheetah Cub that I pre-ordered, and when it might ship. Jen replied the next morning and let me know how the pre-order works and how I would be informed when it was available.
Very pleased with her response and response time.
Thanks Jen!

I had received a delivery from Blade HQ and upon opening the package I was missing one of the knives that I had ordered. The package was damaged upon delivery and I just didn't know how to proceed, I spoke with Jen and she was great. Jen assured me that she would look into this and she did keeping me updated. Jen quickly issued a refund, being extremely helpful I would recommend everyone to shop Blade HQ. This was the first time I ever had a problem with an order issue with them and they took care of me as if I was thier best customer. I can't thank Jen enough for all her help.

Hey Mark!
Thank you for sharing your experience!
We’re sorry your package showed up looking like it lost a fight in transit and was missing an item. Definitely not the kind of unboxing we aim for. But we’re glad Jen jumped in, kept you updated, and got things handled quickly. That’s exactly how we like to do it.
We’ll make sure she gets the shoutout (she earned it), and while we hope your next package arrives in perfect condition, it’s good to know we’ve got your back when things go a little off track.
Thanks for the recommendation, we’ll keep the service sharp and the boxes (hopefully) intact! 🔪

No resolution
March 28, 2026

Got two defective knives in a row. Customer support processed the returns easily enough athough the wait times are long.
But. I still don't know why the knives were defective.
I asked if Case knives are just blemished now - as the norm, it's important information because I was going to get several knives like the Trapper and Stockmam in different sizes the take my collection in that direction. It is Very unsatisfying not knowing.
It was a simple question.
Now I don't know, and really don't want to spend time and money playing Wait and See though the US mail to find out. Now I don't get the knives and Blade HQ doesn't get the money and I can't tell my friends anymore that I never have a problem buying from BHQ online

Hi William,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry for the frustration here.
Getting two defective knives in a row is definitely not the experience we want for you, and we understand how disappointing it is to not get a clear answer on why. While defects can occasionally happen, they are not the norm, and brands like Case are not intended to be sold as blemished unless specifically marked as such.
We’re glad the returns were handled smoothly, but we agree, you deserved a more complete answer. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and your feedback helps us improve both our communication and follow-through.
If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to take another look at this with you and provide more clarity. We value your trust and would love the chance to earn back your confidence.

Product Return
March 26, 2026

I bought a knife that I was not exactly happy with so I contacted Blade HQ about returning it. They hooked me up with a return label, I sent it back, and I was issued a refund. Cloey E contacted me as soon as they received the return and let me know that they got it and I would be issued a refund. Can't ask for much better customer service than that.

Hi Tracy!
Thanks for the great review!
We’re glad the return process was smooth and easy from start to finish. Cloey does a great job keeping customers in the loop, and we’ll be sure she sees the shoutout.
Sometimes a knife just isn’t the right fit; it happens, even to seasoned collectors. When that does, we try to make the return process easier than opening a well-tuned flipper 😄🔪
Thanks for choosing Blade HQ!

Refunding an order

It was great, everything went smoothly and quickly. This easily could have been a 2 hour process but the majority of it probably took a total of about 15-20 minutes.

Honest but no help
March 23, 2026

Unfortunately I couldn't get help. Yes the info is not your responsibility but I think you should have this info. What happens if someone buys a (folding) knife from you, put it in the check-in suitcase as a gift (not the cabin back pack), boxed and invoiced, and go to the airport? Anyway, the agent was honest and kind. Five stars. Cheers.

Excellent Customer Service!
March 20, 2026

I recently emailed Blade HQ with a question about a specific blade coating. This was on a Friday afternoon and I was not expecting a response until the following Monday or Tuesday. On Saturday morning I had an email from Kim answering my question with exactly what I was looking for. I then emailed back asking about a military/veteran discount. She again answered very quickly with exactly the information I needed and got my account updated to reflect the discount. The customer service is phenomenal! Kim was super helpful with everything and replied very quickly to all of my questions!

March 16, 2026

I order two knifes from Blade HQ and I also have my packages delivered to my work place due to getting packages stolen from home address. My issue was not the fault of Blade HQ It was my darn fault for not putting the whole address so that I could get my order. Called Blade HQ and Dallas took care of my issue so that if there is a delay in order its my fault. Thank you Dallas for the understanding.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration this situation caused and understand how concerning it can be when an order doesn’t move as expected.
In this case, we did attempt to process a refund back to the original payment method; however, the refund was declined due to it being an international payment. Because of that, our team offered store credit as an alternative so we could still ensure the value of your purchase was returned to you as quickly as possible. You may also wish to check with your card company or bank regarding the declined refund, as they may be able to provide additional details.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and any confusion this may have caused. Our goal is always to make things right for our customers. If you’d like us to take another look at the situation, our support team would be happy to help.
