“Five dollar or less letter openers”

roger B.
8/21/18

I have bought a lot of various knives/daggers from BUDK. I call them letter openers because I would never trust my life with a five dollar blade. However the blades I have received have all been as advertised and make me wonder how they would perform under stress. But for five bucks, they work fine for opening letters and packages - cutting string and such. Filled several drawers with 30 or so blades, so I am ready for the zombies. I don't see how they make a profit selling at such low prices.

“Missing screws and no blade”

K D.
2/16/24

Sitting here with my cousin and his order of (4) bushmaster OTF knives was delivered. All (4) are gifts for family members and are identical. One knife is missing (2) screws and another knife is missing the blade. Shipping took (5) days. My cousin just got off the phone with BudK customer service and has to wait 3 days for a return shipping label then wait for them to receive the bad products they sent him and another 5 days to see if they send him what he originally ordered. All the while not offering him any compensation. This company is a bad business! Please take heed to this company before deciding to order from here.

My nephew collects all kinds of knives. He loves your products. He pours over every catalog when it arrives. He had a bunch of items on his Christmas List.

I bought many knives from BudK, they are without a doubt the best most honest place to buy. I've never had anything to ship back. The prices will Shock you at times when you see the quality of knives you get for the price. HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY

Bought the red guardian sword with the 3 Kunai knives they got here within a week and i was amazed with the quality of the sword, knifes, and the detail. The Sheath could've been done a little better but all in all it was a GREAT BUY. Will be buying again soon

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.

Items arrived in excellent condition and are very nice. Your site and catalog are fun to look through. I'll keep an eye out for an item I just can't live without. Thanks. Good service and items.

They sent me the wrong items, and when I caled to fix it, they did not even know what was in the Catalog, telling me somone would have to "Pull the Call" in 24 to 48 hours and see what happened. It sounded like they found the dumbest Hillybilly in town to answer the phone. Stay away unluss you're ok gambling. If you DO order, use AMEX or a credit card that will dispute for you.

This order exceeds my expectations. The knives I purchased are a real delight. I plan on giving them to some of my VietNam buddies for Christmas. I have purchased knives from BUDK before & hope to do business in the future. May I wish ALL of your staff a """MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR""".

One item I ordered was defective when I got it. BUDK has sent me a return label to return it for another one. Have not received the new knife yet but I feel sure it will come in a timely manner.

Great Knife, just what I expected and more, solid full tang blade, it came sharp but I like it a bit more sharp, so I touched it up, otherwise great purchase all around, I will tell all my family and friends to grab one, well worth the price!

For Black Friday, I was able to pick up a nice lock pick set for $20 and as a bonus, I received 2 free assisted tac knives. Not the best quality, but hey, free is free! Thanks!

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 DIDNT RECEIVE MY ITEMS AT ALL. When i was told i would receive them they wasnt there. These guys are really worried about quality control and make you jump threw hoops to get what you ordered then not to get what you wanted is a real bummer

I just discovered this website through a magazine. I love it, it has everything that a hunter, weapons enthusiast, camper, or collector would want.
Great site!

Budk is one of the most efficient on line businesses I work with. They are always prompt, the orders complete and correct, and the products are great. I've been with them for decades

Not only do they sell the cheapest f the cheap, they constantly send people the wrong orders and expect you to ship them back at YOUR expense, I have let it slide in hopes that they pick up the slack, cuz hey people make mistakes, but something that repeats itself as often as it does I start to think it's not a mistake. My last purchase from here totaled around $80 nothing too extravagant but stuff nevertheless, they charged my card as my purchase was completed and then continued to send me an email saying my card declined, we exchanged two short emails saying the same ol shtick, pretty much telling me that I'm wrong and I have to re order, I would hate to see more people spend and waste money on garbage
