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.

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
RECEIVED ORDER PROMPTLY AND AS USUAL THE QUALITY IS MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED FOR THE PRICE... THANKS!
I never thought that I could by quality blades at such a low price. I will purchase all of my blades from BUDK! The products arrived in just a few days.
Very easy and quick, I will be shopping with you again.My son is a collector and likes alot of you items,
Everything is great. I love the website. My husband really wanted the finger teaser thing he loves it.
I have been buying from BUDK for many years now and I can only recall having one problem with delivery. I have always gotten what I ordered, and been satisfied with what I've gotten. I get a grab bag every year at Christmas and always get fun things to share with family and friends.
I ordered several items from BudK online the night of 11/24 and received them all the morning of 11/30. Everything was just as described. Nothing was damaged. Thanks again BudK!
I enjoy your catalogs and internet ads. I occasionally buy an item or two. You always have interesting things to sell. Thanks.
How is it that others get "crap service and swords" and yet I get exactly what I wanted, what I paid for, and great quality items? When it says BOGO I get TWO items. Should I be shocked, or just thank you for fulfilling my order?
Please keep up the good word.
Keeping the review to this order:
The information was processed quickly and shipped in a timely manner. Merchandise arrived a little ahead of when I expected (GA to WA in 10 days - standard shipping) and arrived in great condition. Quality of product matched exactly as advertised and even a little better in a couple regards.
Really honestly cant think of anything I ever ordered that I didn't like... some items are a little better than others but over all I've always been satisfied
Will order from you in the future. Great quality and the shipping was fast. Please keep sending your catalog my son waits for it.
Thank you and happy holidays! I enjoyed the selection and the timely manner in which I received my order!
Really decent knives for the price they came sharpened already so they are ready to use straight out the box
Great Transaction. Would definately do business again. Thanks! Great Transaction. Would definately do business again. Thanks!
Everything arrived on time and very neatly! What I ordered is to be Christmas presents for my son in the Army--I think he will like them.
Good products. Great design on Timber Wolf knife. Wish there was tracking info, but 2nd time I ordered from Budk without issue.
Very good quality. Sheath fits well and good quality nylon. Knife is solid and a few passes on the diamond hone and it was razor sharp!
Delivery were great. Easy transaction. The future will tell the quality of the products. Seems pretty decent for the price, but I'll put them to the test.
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. Here's their shipping info from their site: Merchandise TotalStandard Shipping3 - 5 Day Express2 - 3 Day Express1 - 2 Day ExpressUp to $25.00$10.99Add $8.99 To Standard Shipping ChargesAdd $13.00 To Standard Shipping ChargesAdd $28.00 To Standard Shipping Charges$25.01 - $49.00$11.99$49.01 - $70.00$13.99$70.01 - $100.00$14.99$100.01 - $200.00$16.99Over $200.00$18.99
