Blade HQ

Blade HQ is a full time Internet cutlery business with a brick and mortar store. "HQ" stands for "headquarters" but over time was simply shortened to "HQ." Blade HQ has become a premier online destination for cutlery and gear. We specialize in high-end LEO, military and collectible folding knives (folding, fixed, custom, assisted, automatic, butterfly- you name it!). Our goal is to have the most incredible selection of "in stock" knives available anywhere while providing outstanding customer service and pricing.

Blade HQ was founded in 2003 by Cam Hughes. Cam was unhappy with offerings and service from other online vendors and decided to start his own company (Cam, a serial entrepreneur, more recently founded health & wellness endeavor Utopius). Over the years Blade HQ has added partners (software engineer Jim Brown, avid outdoorsman Nick Silver and financial specialist Marcus O'Conner) and acquired several knife and technology companies. But at the end of the day Blade HQ is run by people with a passion for knives and knife-related gear.

Our knife and cutlery selection is vast and varied. We carry folding knives, fixed blade knives, spring assisted knives, automatic knives, butterfly knives, custom knives, multi tools, axes and just about anything that you can think of. We stock products from all major brands including Microtech, Protech, Benchmade, Boker, CRKT, ESEE, Kershaw, Zero Tolerance, Emerson, Gerber, Cold Steel, SOG, Spyderco, Piranha, Buck, Chris Reeve, TOPS, and more! We are sure to have something that catches your eye.
