The Steel River Commando Fixed Blade and Talon Karambit bundle starts at $5.95 for shipping and handling, but the order also starts a Blade Club membership. The seller says the first $59.99 membership charge comes 14 days after your order, followed by a $59.99 charge every 30 days until you cancel. If that is the charge or shipment you are trying to sort out, keep your order confirmation, contact SOS Self Defense Tool, and state clearly whether you want tracking, cancellation, a return authorization, or a refund.

Why was I charged after paying $5.95?
The bundle offer says the Commando Fixed Blade and SR114 Talon Karambit are free with $5.95 shipping and handling. It also says your order begins Blade Club membership. The offer states that the first membership charge is due in 14 days and that future shipments are billed at $59.99 every 30 days.
This is the key point to check if a charge surprised you: the $5.95 is the initial shipping-and-handling amount, while the later $59.99 charge is described as the monthly Blade Club charge. The seller says that membership includes a new knife shipment each month and access to its National Self-Reliance Initiative video portal.
| What the offer says | What to check |
|---|---|
| $5.95 shipping and handling today | Match the amount and date to your order confirmation. |
| $59.99 first membership charge in 14 days | Check whether the charge date falls 14 days after the order. |
| $59.99 every 30 days after that | Check whether a monthly membership remained active. |
| A new knife shipment with membership | Ask for the shipment tracking number if a charge is tied to a shipment you have not received. |
How do you cancel the Blade Club?
SOS Self Defense Tool says you may cancel at any time. Its satisfaction-guarantee page directs customers to call +1 985 791 0490 or email info@SOSSelfDefenseTool.com. The seller says phone cancellations are handled immediately and that email cancellation requests receive a confirmation from support.
If your goal is to avoid the first $59.99 charge, the offer says to cancel within 14 days of the order. Save the cancellation confirmation. If you cancel by email, include the name and email used for the order, the order number if available, and a direct request to cancel the Blade Club membership.

What does the seller say about refunds and returns?
SOS Self Defense Tool says products may be returned within 30 days. Its refund policy says a refund request must be made within 30 days of receiving the order, and the opened or unopened product must be returned freight prepaid. The policy says the refund is the purchase price less shipping.
The seller’s satisfaction-guarantee page describes product refunds as available up to 30 days after purchase and says its support team will provide return instructions. That page says a full refund is issued once the returned item arrives at the facility. For subscription payments, it says it refunds up to 30 days of payments, which it describes as one monthly payment.
The offer itself adds a bundle-specific statement: you may cancel and keep the initial knives, while a refund of the $5.95 shipping fee requires mailing the bundle back within 30 days. It also says a monthly Blade Club charge may be refunded within 30 days of billing upon return of that month’s knife.
| Your issue | Seller’s stated route |
|---|---|
| You want to cancel before a future charge | Call or email support and keep the cancellation confirmation. |
| You want the $5.95 shipping fee back | The offer says to mail the initial bundle back within 30 days. |
| You want a refund for a monthly knife charge | The offer says to return that month’s knife within 30 days of billing. |
| Your item arrived damaged | The refund policy asks for photographs so the seller can arrange a replacement or refund. |
| Your cancellation request came after shipping | The refund policy says the seller can provide an RMA; return shipping applies. |
The seller says refunds typically take 3–5 business days for bank processing after the refund is processed, while return processing takes 14 days. Ask support for the return instructions before sending an item, then retain the tracking receipt and copies of your messages.
What if the knives have not arrived or arrived damaged?
The seller’s FAQ lists separate help topics for packages that have not arrived in more than a week, packages that have not arrived in less than a week, tracking numbers, broken products, and shipment timing. Its refund policy says damaged items should be documented with photographs for a replacement or refund.
Start with the tracking number. If you do not have one, ask support for it and include your order number. If the package is damaged, take clear photos of the packaging, both knives, and any defect before you send a message. That gives support the details its policy asks for and creates a clean record if you later need to dispute the transaction.
Are the Commando and Talon bundle details clear?
The offer identifies the Commando as an 11.5-inch fixed blade with a 6.5-inch 5Cr15MoV stainless-steel blade, full-tang construction, a soft-touch TPE grip, and a sheath. It identifies the Talon as a folding karambit with an 8.3-inch overall length, a 3.3-inch 8Cr13MoV black-oxide blade, and a stated hardness of 57 HRC.
The seller markets the pair for outdoor utility, camp work, and preparedness. Its terms also include a section on automatic and assisted knives. Before ordering or carrying either knife, check the rules that apply where you live and where you plan to travel.
Do these knives answer a home-break-in concern?
If your concern is burglary, the useful answer is to make the house harder to enter and easier to notice, not to rely on a knife bundle as a home-security system. The home-security guidance included here points to practical steps: keep doors and garage access locked, improve exterior lighting, secure sliding doors, reinforce vulnerable windows, keep shrubs trimmed, avoid advertising travel plans, and use timers or a neighbor check-in when you are away.
A house is more exposed when access points are left easy to use and there are few signs that anyone is paying attention. At night, lighting around entrances and dark perimeter areas is a practical place to start. For a household plan, document valuables and model numbers, then decide which entry points need attention first.
What should you do before asking for a chargeback?
Give the seller a direct chance to resolve the exact problem first. State the order number, transaction date, amount, what happened, and the outcome you want. Ask for written confirmation of any cancellation, return authorization, replacement, tracking number, or refund.
If the matter remains unresolved, keep your order confirmation, product-page terms, cancellation message, return tracking, photographs, and card statement together. Those records make a bank or consumer complaint easier to understand. This site’s consumer complaint roadmap explains where to take a complaint, and its state attorney general guide explains how to prepare a clear filing.
Before you order or contact support
- Confirm that you understand the $5.95 initial shipping charge and the stated $59.99 membership schedule.
- Decide whether you want the bundle only or want to remain enrolled for monthly knife shipments.
- Ask support how cancellation is confirmed and how to use the online help portal mentioned in the offer.
- Ask for the return instructions before mailing anything back.
- Keep all order, cancellation, tracking, and refund records in one place.
- Use knives only in a lawful setting and check local carry and possession rules before you order.
