And here it is, a free shipping weekend @ Blade HQ!  And unlike some other sites [*cough* knifecenter *cough*], oversized & heavy items are included in the free shipping!  (I can't say that everything ships free, but I've got an 18" machete in my cart right now, & shipping is listed at $0.00...)

I've already made another purchase (Blade HQ has an impressive inventory, & I picked up a discontinued knife that was $30 less than anywhere else I've seen it, & the free shipping was just what I needed to pull the trigger on that one), but I might have to pick up that machete, too...  

Blade HQ ships free over $99, so the point (for me at least) is to remain below $99, but I could stay below that even with that machete...

And again, I have no affiliation with any knife retailers, but I have had some really good experiences with both Blade HQ & Knife Center, especially when it comes to returns.  I actually have a Gerber knife to return to Blade HQ (the Gerber Pledge -- it cants off to the side at the pivot, something that has happened fairly commonly -- Gideons Tactical even made a video about it), & they will send a shipping label to cover that cost, too.  So these big retailers are really worth checking out if you haven't yet.

Of course, keep those who have served in your thoughts, especially those who have lost so much in doing so, today, & every day.

And have a great weekend, everyone!
