best support representative ever 🔪
Honestly it was the representative I had the pleasure of dealing with that made it a flawless experience. Chad P. Was a legitimate GigaChad and made the process smooth ,enjoyable, and immidiately productive . I was actually nervous about having to deal with customer service at first but within minutes all my reservations were eased away and I felt immidiately confident that I would recieve satisfaction at the end of the process, and I did. It was fast,easy and I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire correspondence . Thanks again brother 🙏 Chad P. for the easy win. Also Blade HQ is the G.O.A.T. 🐐

This is awesome to read—thank you for sharing it! We’re thrilled Chad P. was able to turn what started as nerves into a smooth, productive experience. That’s exactly the kind of support we aim to provide: fast, easy, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.
We’ll be sure Chad sees this—he’ll definitely appreciate it. And thank you for the kind words about Blade HQ as well. We’re grateful for your support and glad we could deliver an “easy win.” ~Tiffany

Cool place to buy a knife
Made returning the knife I purchased so easy, then gave me suggestions on what might fit my needs better. 🤔 quite the concept, treet your customers like actual people who are different and sometimes complicated and yet all seemingly working towards one goal, having a blade that works and you can be proud of. Welcome to blade hq ¡!!!!

We love this—thank you!
Knives are personal, and what works perfectly for one person might not be the right fit for someone else. We’re always happy to make returns easy and help dial in something that truly fits your needs. That’s the goal: a blade you’re proud to carry and confident using.
Welcome to Blade HQ—we’re glad you’re here! ~Tiffany
Horribly slow shipping
I like everything about them except the shipping. It is VERY SLOW. It took 3 days just to get it shipped out from their location. They use USPS which is THE WORST. I am in Detroit and my package has been sitting in Indianapolis for 4 DAYS without moving. It was been 10 DAYS and I'm still waiting. You can do better Blade HQ. Just put some effort into it.

We’re really sorry to hear this has been your experience. Waiting on a package—especially when you’re excited about it—can be incredibly frustrating.
While we work hard to get orders out as quickly as possible, once a package is in the carrier’s hands, transit times and routing delays (like the hold in Indianapolis) are unfortunately outside of our direct control. That said, three days before shipment and extended carrier delays are not the experience we aim to provide.
If you haven’t already, please reach out to our customer service team with your order number so we can take a closer look and see what options may be available. We truly appreciate the feedback—it helps us continue improving where we can. ~Tiffany

I had bought a knife I wasn’t too fond of and decided to return it shortly after it was delivered. I had absolutely zero issues getting a return label and the return was processed immediately after BladeHQ received the phone.
Thank you Cloey E. for the quick communication about processing the return! I appreciate you!

Placed the order last Sunday
Placed the order last Sunday. Website says it was in stock. They crested a shipping label Monday. As of this Saturday it has never been picked up. I have sent three emails on each days since Wednesday and zero replies. I see no way to contact by phone. And to top it off it says it’s shipping from Virginia and I am in Idaho. What about their Utah location. All it takes is a bit of communication. I won’t be buying again assuming I ever get my products
To be fair fedex on Monday shows it left Memphis Sunday and arrived today. Had they simply replied to any email and just sod its weather related give us a few days none of this would have been necessary.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback—we’re truly sorry for the frustration this caused.
You’re absolutely right: clear communication makes all the difference, and we missed the mark here. We experienced a significant weather event that caused a power outage along with short staffing, which unfortunately put us behind on email responses and delayed some shipments. That’s not an excuse—just the honest explanation we should have communicated sooner. Also, all orders ship out of our VA location.
We also understand how confusing it can be to see a label created without movement right away, especially when you’re watching tracking closely. We’re glad to hear FedEx ultimately delivered the package, but we agree this situation could have been avoided with a timely update from us.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your calling out where we can do better. Your feedback is heard, and we’re working to improve communication during unexpected disruptions like this. ~Tiffany

The headquarters for blades
Been a customer on blade hq for a couple years now. Huge selection of just about every imaginable type of knife and price range. Website is intuitive with plenty of filtering options to find whatever you're looking for quickly, as well as a pretty thorough blade steel guide that's informative and useful for comparing the relative attributes of knives with different steels.
They ship quickly, what you see is what you get, and since I just completed my first return I can also say their return policy is fair and the process was straight forward. In fact, their customer service has always been helpful and responsive (looking at you, cloey e.)

Customer service is MIA
Placed an order 5 days ago. Paid for expedited shipping. Didn’t receive tracking until three days after the order is placed, and the package still has not actually been shipped, only a label created. No response from customer service email, and their phone support is down due to “staffing issues” so I have yet to actually get in touch with anyone from this company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience—we’re really sorry for the frustration this caused.
We want to provide some context for the delay. Our area was impacted by a significant ice storm, which left our building without power on Monday. Unfortunately, road conditions also made it unsafe for many of our employees to travel to work on Tuesday. These unexpected circumstances slowed order processing, carrier pickups, and limited our ability to respond as quickly as we normally do.
We completely understand how disappointing this is, especially after selecting expedited shipping, and we sincerely apologize for the lack of communication during that time. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we truly appreciate your patience as we worked through the situation.
Thank you for bearing with us—we value your business and the opportunity to make things right. ~Tiffany

Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback—we’re really sorry for the frustration this caused. We know how disappointing it is to pay for expedited shipping and not see movement right away, and we completely understand your concern.
At the time of your order, we were impacted by severe weather that caused a temporary power outage and short staffing, which delayed order processing and slowed our response times. In some cases, this resulted in shipping labels being created before carriers were able to pick up packages, as well as delays in email and phone support.
That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the lack of communication. We truly appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right, and we’re actively working to get caught back up as quickly as possible. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. ~Tiffany
It's nice to deal with humans and not algorithms!
I guess a few years ago I bought a beautiful knife from Blade HQ it was a spring assist I carried it with me everywhere I recently thought I lost it I woke up the next day in a panic so I immediately ordered another knife even though right now in my life I cannot afford to spend any money I had to have that blade replaced right after I ordered it I found it outside in the snow when I was shoveling. Blade HQ was very nice and immediately refunded my purchase money what a fantastic thing! I thank you very much! I love my knife and since in New York it is impossible to get a firearm or even pepper spray, this knife is my only means of security thank you so much!

poor communication and unacceptable service.
I ordered and paid for an item, received confirmation, and then heard nothing for over two weeks. The item never arrived, and the company never contacted me. I had to call them myself to find out what was going on, only to be told there was an issue with the payment—something I was never notified about. Very poor communication and unacceptable service.

We’re really sorry for this experience, and we understand why you’d be frustrated. Going that long without an update—especially after receiving an order confirmation—is absolutely not acceptable, and we apologize for the lack of communication on our end.
If there is ever an issue with payment or order processing, our goal is to notify customers right away, and we clearly missed the mark here. That’s on us. We appreciate you taking the time to call in so the issue could be identified, but you should never have had to chase down that information yourself.
Your feedback is important and helps us improve how we communicate when something goes wrong. We truly regret the inconvenience this caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. ~Tiffany
