BladeGuard is the first peer-to-peer knife marketplace where every transaction is escrow-protected, delivery-verified, and legally vetted by AI before it ships.
What's legal in Texas is a felony in New York City. Blade length limits, switchblade bans, concealed carry rules, they all change at every state line. Sometimes at every city limit.
Most knife trades happen on Reddit, Facebook groups, and forums. No escrow. No delivery verification. The buyer sends money and hopes for the best.
Sellers spend hours researching whether they can legally ship a specific knife to a specific state. Most skip this step entirely. That's how people catch charges.
Three layers of protection on every transaction.
Before a listing goes live, our AI swarm checks the knife type against the seller's state laws, the buyer's state and municipal codes, federal shipping regulations, and any active litigation that could affect the sale. If it can't ship legally, the transaction is blocked before money moves.
Buyer funds go into a dedicated escrow account. Not the seller's pocket. Not a platform wallet. A real escrow that holds until delivery is confirmed at the exact address on the invoice.
Tracking numbers are matched against the delivery address on the invoice. Funds release only when the carrier confirms delivery at the right address. Not "in transit." Not "out for delivery." Delivered.
The Federal Switchblade Act of 1958. State preemption laws. Municipal blade-length restrictions. Active litigation that could change what's legal tomorrow. BladeGuard's AI monitors all of it, continuously, so you never have to wonder if a sale is legal.
BladeGuard is building the trust layer the knife market has always needed. Every trade protected. Every shipment legal. Every seller and buyer covered.
