This is one of the most useful tools I have. It is now in my vehicle for survival and self defense.it has a very bright light and extends to a very formidable self defense baton.
So the knife is great but I bought it during a promo that said "buy one get one free and no shipping" but it just gave me no shipping cost and 1 knife.
One box was opened at one time before shipping. The knife had no clear plastic wrapper and received it with oil stains on the scales. The other was just fine and came sealed in the box with a plastic wrapper.
I ordered several of the goblets, they are pretty detailed for the cheap price u pay, one of them was broke when it arrived, im sure i could have called them and they would have sent me another one but as cheaply priced as they are i just put a lil super glue and bam, good as new. So overall i have been satisfied with everything i have bought from budk so far.
Thank you! I received all the items ordered! They were exactly what I was expecting. I even went back and ordered more. The prices were great!
I found all of my husband's Christmas gifts here and it made it so easy for me to order and receive. One stop shopping and I am thrilled. I know he will be Christmas day as well.
I received my complete order quickly. Everything was as expected or better - and the prices were good!
Love the selection of items. Ordered the mystery anime sword and was extremely happy with the sword received. They have one of the best selections of items, my go to when looking for something for my husband and friends.
The only reason for the 4/5 service is that I never received a tracking email to know when my package was to arrive. I got a promo code for free economy shipping so I guess that's what I get, but I would've liked to have a tracking number emailed to me. Aside from that, the products are better than I expected for the price by far, the packing was quality and professional, and even included a coupon for a future shopping discount. Overall great experience, I will shop again.
I bought a beginners lock picking kit and got a FREE sword and 3 throwing knives with a case! It all arrived earlier than expected, too. Very pleased! I will be ordering again.
I am so shocked that my package arrived today... and when my husband opens it at Christmas, he will be shocked also and very pleased with his gift... thank you Bud K and to all there, Merry Christmas
It was easy to use the website. Everything came quickly and was just what i ordered. I also love the free gift that was included.
Looks to be well made and just the right size for my duty belt. You can really stuff this little thing. I have my phone, note pad, tactical pen, survival pen, extra pistol magazine, pack of smokes, and a partridge in a pear tree in there. Just kidding about the bird in the tree. Merry Christmas and thanks again BudK!
Received a catalog for BUDK and decided to order, glad I did! Unique items, received as described, fast shipping!
My order arrived very promptly and I was pleased with the merchandise. I will do business with Buck again.
Love what I ordered. Awesome, and fast shipping! No problem with my experience what so ever. Great customer service when placing my orders. Nowlegable customer service representatives.
I ordered several items, everything came in and it was exactly what I had ordered, the description online was exactly what I got, will shop with them again for sure.
I have made 3 purchases from BUDK/Kennesaw this month, 2 Naval Cutlass and 12 kitchen knives (8 don't tread on me knives and 4 fillet knives - they are the same thing in 2 different colors). Each of the 3 orders was mad quickly and I received exactly what I expected. Is the cutlass sharp enough to repel boarders? Hell no! It is a show-piece, not a weapon! But this one is 50 bucks where as the real CPO Navy Cutlass is 450 bucks, without engraving! By the way you guys, why don't you all just print and send one catalogue? Also, only send catalogue with purchase upon request.
Have problems getting the batons to retract. Have to really hit them on the ground hard. Was hard at first to get to expand, but better now, but getting them to retract is still a problem
Answer: Depends on how much you're willing to spend. The ones on BudK are all junk with the, out of place, exception of their Benchmade line-up which are some of the best OTF's and range from $250-$450(add, at the bare minimum, another $50+ for taxes and shipping). Personally, I think, with all the mechanics involved in an OTF, it's not worth the price tag because the more "mechanisms" you put in a knife, the less reliable it becomes, which is why a fixed blade will always be more reliable than a folder or an automatic of equal quality. Especially since I'm not a mercenary or an assassin. OTF's are definitely cool tho. So, as with any knife, if it's for show, buy cheap. If it's for survival, dip into your savingsFrom top down, these knives are in order of reliability.
Answer: Depends on how much you're willing to spend! Standard is like $15-$20, expedited is like $25-$35, then you also have the option to have your package moved to somewhere closer to the front of the line for $3-$5. Kinda feels like a racket to me. My advice when thinking about using budk is to see if amazon has what you want first, as many of the items on budk can be found on amazon for cheaper and with free, well tracked, shipping.
