Outstanding Customer Service
March 8, 2026

I had ordered the wrong knife as I had erroneously selected one with a different blade type from the one I wanted while shopping online with BladeHQ. As I explained my error, BladeHQ understood and processed a return label for me to return the item. Upon receipt of the item back, they immediately processed the credit to my credit card. Cloey E was exceptional, professional, effective, and friendly in providing this outstanding customer support. I have since place another order with BladeHQ given the excellent product selection and customer service.

Auto knives and the disabled.
March 6, 2026

As a disabled person i am allowed by law to carry and use automatic knives.
But due to ca. Law it is not possible for you to ship to us.

Hi Robert!
Thank you so much for the 5 stars! We truly appreciate the support! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We understand how frustrating automatic knife laws can be, especially when they vary by state. While certain allowances may exist, California shipping restrictions limit what we’re able to send into the state, and we have to follow those regulations consistently.
We’re grateful for your understanding and your business. If you’d ever like help finding a California-compliant option that fits your needs, we’d be more than happy to assist. We’re always here to help however we can 🔪

Don't be late

The Work Sharp knife sharpner clamp does not work well. It does not hold knifes very well. Some knife it won't hold at all. I asked to return it 31 days after it was delivered and they denied the return. Just know, there is no grace on the 30 day return policy.

Easy Return
February 25, 2026

Received a great knife, but decided that it was a little too similar to the to like models I'd already purchased from Blade HQ. The company made it easy to return the product. They have to know that I'm gonna keep buying, and easy transactions like these only make me more eager to continue to do business with the company.

Fabulous customer service
February 24, 2026

I bought 5 knives from BladHQ/Grindworx over a few weeks. One arrived damaged; company refunded my entire purchase. I decided another was unwieldy; company refunded most, if not all, or purchase price. With the exception of the aforementioned damaged knife, all were good quality. Customer service reps like Melissa and Zach are helpful and friendly. I also appreciate discount for vets.

We’ll be sure Melissa and Zach see the shout-out; they’ll appreciate it! And we’re happy the veteran discount made a difference, too. Thanks again for choosing Blade HQ and Grindworx!
