The company has garnered mixed feedback, with some customers praising the prompt delivery and competitive pricing, expressing satisfaction with specific products. However, significant concerns overshadow these positives, particularly regarding customer service, order fulfillment, and product quality. Many reviews highlight frustrating delays, inadequate support for returns, and issues with product reliability, leading to customer dissatisfaction. The overall sentiment suggests that while the company may appeal to those seeking inexpensive novelty items, it struggles to meet the expectations of customers prioritizing quality and effective service.

Once again, I'm amazed at the quality of the knife I ordered. You'd expect to pay MUCH MORE for this quality. Totally thrilled AGAIN!
Everything was great and I will order again. I would and will order again, and I will recommend this company to my family and friends.
I reveived my Fighter Knife in pristine condition as i always do with all if my orders from BudK. My only concern is the sheath i reveived doesn't seem to fit quite right as appears a few inches longer than the blade and the strap to button the knife into the sheath seems a bit short when the knife is inside. I called customer service and they are looking into it. Perhaps the leather has to stretch and acclimate as the weather is turning cold now even in Tucson.
As always good prices and great varied types of products along with fast shipping. Excellent customer service and even greater product packing.
The only real issue I have is with shipping. I wish you guys would choose another carrier. Fed Ex is not reliable and they just end up passing it off to the post office. I finally got my package after a 3 day delay.
Got what I ordered quickly and packaged well. The But, is because 5 of the 6 knives opened hard. One knife opened perfectly, two with some effort and three very hard to the point of making your finger sore. I loosed the screw to make less friction on the blade. That helped but now the blade wobbles. The nylon bushings seem to be the problem, not slippery enough. The open assist cant do its job. One handed use in an emergency could be a problem. For the money its a good enough knife. It would be 5 Stars if all 6 knives opened effortlessly. My wife cant open the knife one handed. I am referring to the Ridge Runner Rescue knife. I put a few drops of high quality gun oil on bushing but that didnt help much. Open a CRKT finger knife and see the difference, smooth and easy.
Excellent blades for your bucks. Speedy delivery, and daily specials keep me collecting. Their app could use a little tweaking, but good grades overall.
Everything I ordered was in the box and they didn't forget anything. Everything seems well made and the prices are really cheap too
When looking for camping, hunting, survival, and SHTF gear at great prices budk has you covered.! As it did for me!.
The product I received was exactly what I ordered. Will buy again from this company. The product is very well made and very happy with the fast shipping

The items were packed well, and arrived on time. Its always good to deal with budk. They have a good customer service, they replied right away.
The ease of ordering, the price and delivery time were all fantastic. This isn't my first order and it won't be my last.
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.
Awesome service, Thanks BudK! My son will cherish this forever! BudK is the place to shop for Christmas!
The product is exactly what it says it was. Nothing wrong with it at all. Very Happy with BudK and what they have I will definitely order more stuff.
I really enjoy all the items that I have purchased from BudK.com and it was great to see this company respond to my order in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend this company to any customer who is looking for great products for great prices. Thank You BudK.
My son wanted a sword like one of the ones I have. I picked up a sword for him at a 1/4 of the price mine was. BUDK is on the money when they rate their products. I've picked up a few things as everything has worked out quite well. Thanks
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!
Everything arrived on time and was exactly as described. Very satisfied and already placed another order
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.
