Updated review

I know it is very easy to get lost in a sea of emails, and orders.
So when my order hadn't shipped I called,and I happen to have had the good fortune to deal with Melissa. She was very attentive, and proactive at addressing my concerns, and reassuring that she would get to the bottom of it,and rectify any problem I was having with my order. This is how customer service builds a loyal relationship with the customer, and the company. She treated me with dignity, and respect like a person not just another in a long line of sales.I've had negative experiences with other online vendors who could care less wether or not a person is a repeat customer.they usually deliver in blue panel vans.I won't say their name.,but in short mellisa g. Is exemplary example of what a customer service rep should be. I only hope if I ever have a problem again that I will be lucky enough to have help from her.thank you Melissa g!,and I hope you have a great day!

She was very attentive, and professional. Detail oriented, and most of all kind,and understanding. She addressed all of my issues,and went above and beyond to adress the problem. Most of all She treated me like a person not just one order in a sea of orders.this is what the world needs today. Everything seems so detached, and transactional.and to have someone treat you with dignity and respect is a rare thing nowadays.
This is how successful business is done,and she definitely has my gratitude. Thank you Mellisa G.,and blade hq.

Disappointment
June 16, 2024

I bought a switchblade that was advertised as "Made in Italy," and "made of 440 steel." The knife I received was made in PRC (China), was inferior quality to other AKC knives I own. I find it disappointing that you put a certificate of authenticity in an "Italian" knife box that has PRC stamped on it.

Your customer service staff are polite and responsive. They have a tough job. I ended-up buying an Italian switch blade from Apple Valley Knives.

Hi Peter,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the discrepancy regarding the switchblade you received. It’s disappointing to hear that the knife did not meet the advertised specifications and your expectations.

We take product authenticity very seriously and will investigate this issue to prevent similar occurrences in the future. We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear that our customer service staff were polite and responsive throughout your experience.

We’re sorry to lose your business to Apple Valley Knives but understand your decision.
Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

Bought an otf to use at work had the clip fail due to excessive use. The brand failing is not the fault of the staff and they proved this by doing what they could to make the situation better. Great customer service quick and responsive.

Engraving mistake
June 15, 2024

I ordered a knife for my husband for his first Father's Day. While customizing the knife, I could type out everything exactly how I wanted. When it came to check out, it dropped off the apostrophe. I deleted the item and re-did everything multiple times and had a feeling it was the website. So the last time I did it, I screenshot how I wanted it and when at check out it would drop it. I had the screenshots to cover myself. As soon as I placed the order, I called customer service and Zach made a note on my order. When I received the knife almost a week later, it had the mistake. I called and they told me they were only going to refund me $100. I was upset because I provided all the proof that it was not a mistake on my end and they still didn't resolve it or send me a new one. I will not be ordering another knife from them.

Shipped a non working item
June 13, 2024

Bought a auto knife (for my nephew's birthday the day after it arrived) that aparently wasn't converted by blade hq so now I get to get my money tied up while returning and rebuying the item from them. No other options given other than a return label.

I had to have my account unlocked due to the recent changes in policy at BladeHQ.
As normal, Customer Service at BladeHQ went above and beyond to provide premium customer care. The product I wanted was personally verified to be as pictured and in stock. My account was unlocked, oh but it didn't work when I tried to place the order. I had to endeavor to persevere. Customer Service continued to be provided in a professional, friendly manner. My account did finally get unlocked and I did place my order.

Great Service
June 12, 2024
Updated review

My first transaction from BladeHQ went badly. First my cart did not work and I could not purchase the on sale knife. But they stepped up and sent it to me for free. But everything went bad again as UPS lost the shipment. But again BladeHQ customer service stepped up and sent another free knife. This is outstanding service. I will always go to them first for any purchase. And their prices are very competitive.

Lost the sale price. But they fixed it.
May 28, 2024
Previous review

Customer service did A good job except for one thing. The knife in my un-viewable cart was on sale when I put it in and tried to buy it. By the time they got it fixed it was no longer on sale and they wanted full price. Or $30 more for the knife. Needless to say it will remain in my cart un purchased for eternity now. BladeHQ has become A reference site.

UPDATE: The BladeHQ customer service team fixed this error. They went above and beyond anything expected and sent me the knife for free. They have proven themselves to be A company worth my trust and money. Will purchase from them again.

Happy Memorial Day?
June 11, 2024

Your company thinks writing the words Happy Memorial Day in your summer kick off sale email was a good idea.
What is the happiest part of Memorial Day to someone who has lost a loved one to their service to our country?
The customer service rep apologized, and it would never happen again, and that's all she can really do.
The company itself had better have a deep look at what's going on because they have used this term in past years sales after some research I've found.
I'm taking a year off from buying anything from blade hq until I see something different happen next Memorial Day.
It's not happy.

Hello Shane,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We deeply regret any distress caused by our recent Memorial Day message. We understand that Memorial Day is a time of remembrance and solemnity, especially for those who have lost loved ones in service to our country.

We sincerely apologize for the oversight and for any pain it may have caused. Please know that your feedback is taken very seriously.
We appreciate your candidness and your patience as we work to make meaningful changes. Your decision to take a year off from purchasing with us is understood, and we hope to regain your trust in the future by showing a greater awareness and respect for the significance of Memorial Day.
