“Spent thousands on BudK, crappy mystery bag, no response.”

Christopher J.

I've spent thousands on BudK, mainly military gifts for my units, battalions and special occasions, bought a mystery bag for my son for Christmas as I have always done, garbage, checking barcodes, all the knives were listed for $6.98 on the website. Reached out to BudK, no answer.

I have been ordering items from BudK for many years now since my son loves knives and swords. On Christmas of this past year (2022) I ordered the knife of the month subscription. So far he has received four knives and he has loved every single one. The quality has been great, the styles have been cool, and so far, all have been knives that were of greater value than what the monthly cost is. In the past we have ordered numerous different items; swords, knives, display shelves, lots of survival items, etc. We have never been disappointed with our purchases.

Tip for consumers:
Don't go by the reviews. Everyone has different opinions....try it yourself and I think you'll be happy with your purchase.

Like the title says this catalog and on line store is the go-o place for cutlery. The Bud-K catalog and on line store is top notch. Whether you are in the market for cutlery ranging from domestic/cooking knives to survival or self defense weapons out to exotic edged weapons, this is the place to go. I just placed an order on Tuesday, and it arrived 4 days later. Not the usual 7-10 working days (or longer) The order was professionally packaged, and the knife is of outstanding quality. (The M-48 cutlery line defines the standard) Prompt, courteous service, superb variety and reasonable prices. Too bad other business don't measure up.

I ordered an expensive black powder revolver from Budk about a month ago. I have no account, and ordered it as a guest. Well I got tired of waiting and checked the tracking #. There was problems with the shipping and the package got returned to sender, and I called customer service to sort out the issue. I called them on Friday, december 3, and on December 4, the very next day, I picked up my package from the post office. Great customer service.

I purchased a knife and there was a mistake on the engraving. Customer service was a great help. Got a return label to me and a new knife was back to me within a week. It's great to see a vendor take care of customers like this. I'll be a customer for life.

I bought a few knives over the years when I had money, I believe every product I received from bud K over exceeded, what my expectations, of my ordered. A few knives eBay Etc,. Nowhere near the quality of BUDK so I tell my friends you want a knife order from BUDK trust me you're going to be blown away by what you get in the mail box. Thank you budk. You are ubove the rest.

I order at least once a year from their website for my husband. He loves all of their products! They're priced fairly for the quality as well. He still has everything I've ever ordered him, nothing has broken. The only thing you have to watch out for, is if you order their mystery boxes- make sure you get different priced ones because if you buy two of the same, you just get repeat products in them haha. I made that mistake one year, but it ended up being great for re-gifting! Also, their shipping is really fast, it always arrives early.
