Frequently Asked Questions
Website Info
What is BladeHQ?
You know, "Blade Headquarters"! The place to buy your blades. We specialize in high-end LEO, military and collectible folding knives (folding, assisted, automatic, butterfly- you name it!). Our goal is to have the most incredible selection of "in stock" knives anywhere while providing outstanding customer service and pricing.
Who runs this website?
Originally this website began as a side project dedicated to carrying only the highest quality knives. BladeHQ is now owned and operated by BladeHQ LLC, and is a full time business with a brick and mortar store. At the top you will still find a guy who loves knives.
What kind of knives do you sell?
Our knife selection is primarily pocket knives (folding knives, spring assisted knives, automatic knives, butterfly knives) and we also carry some multi tools and fixed blade knives. We carry all of the major knife brands including: Microtech, Protech, Benchmade, Boker, CRKT, Blackhawk!, Kershaw, SOG, Spyderco, Piranha, Buck, Chris Reeve, TOPS, and more!
Do you sell anything else besides knives?
Yes indeed! We have plenty of other items that may be of interest to customers: SELF DEFENSE PRODUCTS, FLASHLIGHTS, WATCHES, and LIGHTERS.
Why should I buy a knife from you as opposed to some other seller?
With so many choices available for buying knives this is a great question. Here's our take:
We really care about our customers and the quality of our service. Without customers we don't exist. We always try to answer your email questions, if there's a problem we'll take care of it and we will never leave you hanging. This is not to say things will always be perfect, but we'll get it right in the end.
Our store is owned by a guy who really loves knives; It not a turn key money making machine. When your business is founded on passion it shows.
We stock the items we sell in our store. We've actually got them sitting right here, ready to ship. When you order we pull them off the shelves and ship them. You don't have to wait, wonder or worry.
Our prices are competitive, our inventory is massive, our staff is friendly and knowledgeable, we have a physical store (this allows us to be authorized dealers for most of the products we carry), and we love you (yes, we love you).
Whats the quality like on the knives you sell?
This site is dedicated to the cream of the crop. Any items on this site are first rate. Sure, there will be some $25 knives floating around, but we don't believe that something good always has to cost as much as an organ transplant. Remember the old saying though: You get what you pay for. If a knife costs more, it's probably because it's better. Often the only difference between the prices of knives is the cost of the materials. If you have questions about a specific knife just DROP US A LINE!
Can I advertise on your site?
Advertisements make websites gross. So... no. We don't allow advertising.
Can I link to your site?
Certainly. If we think your website will be of interest to our customers (and it isn't in direct competition with us) well be happy to link back to you on our LINKS page.
Whats your favorite knife?
We're going to have to go with... all of them.
I like your website. What software are you using?
The BladeHQ.com software is custom designed and programmed from scratch. It's the product of years of blood, sweat, and some crying.

Order Status
Has my order shipped?
If all of your items were in stock when you ordered, and you ordered more than 36 hours ago (excluding weekends), your order has probably been shipped. You can check the status of your order HERE. If some of the items you ordered were not in stock (it happens, rarely but it happens) then it is possible that your order has been delayed. If this is the case you will be contacted by a customer service representative through email. If you need more information, please CONTACT US.
How do I change quantities or cancel an item in my order?
If you need to change any quantities or cancel your order, please CONTACT US before the order ships. You will typically have until 2:30 (Mountain Time) on the next business day before the order ships. Once an order has been packed and shipped it cannot be changed or cancelled (in which case you will need to follow the instructions for exchanges and returns).
How do I track my order?
Once an order is shipped an email is automatically sent to the email address provided on your order. Orders can be tracked by clicking the appropriate link in the shipment email. If we don't have an email address on file or if you did not receive an email shipment notification please CHECK YOUR ORDER HISTORY for shipment information. Increasingly our confimation emails are rejected by ISP filters. Please make sure emails from us are not blocked.

Order Problems
My order never arrived.
If your order hasn't arrived there are several possible reasons:
When we send orders they require a signature. If you are unable to sign for the package it is generally held by the shipping company until it can be signed for.
Sometimes when an order is placed the credit card is declined. If this is the case then the order will not be shipped. Customer service will send you an email, but occasionally these emails end up in junk folders. Check your account to see if your order shows up in the order history. If it doesn't, then odds are the order was probably declined.
If you chose to pay with a check or money order, then the order will not be filled until we receive it by mail. This can add processing time to the order.
For further assistance, please Contact Customer Service with your order number.
An item is missing from my shipment.
If an item is missing from your shipment, please CONTACT US for assistance. Please have your order number available if possible.

What is your return policy?
Returns are accepted, as long as they are done within 10 days (we feel this is enough time to determine if the items in your order are operational and to decide if you wish to keep them). You must obtain a Return Authorization before shipping your item back, or your return will not be accepted. To obtain a Return Authorization, please CONTACT US.
You are responsible for shipping the item back to us in brand new, unused condition. There is a 15% restocking fee on non-defective items to offset lost shipping, credit card and labor costs. Once we receive the item we will issue a refund. Your refund will be issued in the same form payment was received, unless other arrangements have been made. We do not reimburse shipping costs. If the mistake is ours, we can generally provide you with a pre-paid return shipping label, please contact us for details. We strongly recommend you insure any package being returned to us- if your return is lost or damaged there is nothing we can do.
Can I exchange an item if I don't like it?
Exchanges are welcome as long as they are done within 10 days. You must obtain a Return Authorization before shipping your item back, or your exchange will not be accepted. To obtain a Return Authorization, please CONTACT US. There are no restocking fees for exchanges with items of equal or greater value, although shipping charges do apply. We strongly recommend you insure any package being returned to us- if your return is lost or damaged there is nothing we can do.
How do I return an item?
