Lightning-Fast, Auto-Assist Knife Set for $9.99 + 4.99 shipping

Lightning fast? You think that’s really necessary? I mean, it’s a nice feature but c’mon. Overkill much? No? Alright, cool. You’re the guy with the knife.

Completely disregard the mistake with the free knives from 2011, Here were some quotes from a previous BUDK Sponsor deal:

@viper89: In terms of service, no issue from the 3 times I have ordered and their product are rather poor quality and more in the "beater" category.

@mattryan said: 49 complaints, B rating from BBB. Not going to risk my money on them.

@walkingsnake said: Many cases can be turned up with just a Google search, not just the knives. Site is well known for deleting bad product reviews on its website, as well. Generally untrusted in the sword enthusiast community (yes, that exists.)
Forum thread with complaints:

@dslocum: BE WARNED, this is a garbage company with horrific customer service.

------
For The Record: The issue we had with the free knives debacle wasn't that they didn't deliver the knives. It was that they Canceled the orders and kept us on their spam list

I bought this exact knife set from them a couple weeks ago when Woot had a no-limits free shipping deal posted for them. It was the same 9.99, but no shipping. Very pleased with the knives for 5 each shipped... dunno if I would have jumped for the deal at the current price. I've only been using the smaller one of the two, but so far, I'm quite glad I bought it.

I've bought from BudK before. Basically, I expect low-end for the low prices and get exactly what I'm expecting with the occasional pleasant surprise.

Tired of antisemitic Nazi stuff.

I just called Kbud and had them take me off their catalog list about a week ago. Why? Well I understand guy's who like to dress up like WWII soldiers and reenact great battles etc. So I was OK with the Nazi stuff on tons of knifes,belts etc. I don't like it but I see the point.

What finally made me feel the were just making money from selling to the SKIN HEAD crowd was their lighters. Two of them with the Nazi symbol on them. The people who buy those are just going to be majority white supremacist. That's when I decided not to give my business to a company making money off 6 million dead Jews. Also we (Allied powers) beat the Nazi's and a lot of American soldiers died for the cause, if those men could speak what would they say?

Also why don't KBUD sell tons of WWII Japanese stuff?

I told the lady on the phone this, her response "sir we get this response a lot, ". Then she took me off their list.

I bought these for some friends at work (well, same knife that said patriot and "Don't Tread On Me" on the blade) a few weeks ago when they ran a buy one get one sale on them. Most were fine, but 3 of the 10 I got did not open with a spring assist, or the blade was so loose it wobbled around. I never did call to return them... need to do that I suppose.

I bought the knife set the last time it was offered. They are so small that you could not break a drinking glass, let alone auto glass!! The seat belt cutter is good only for twine - totally misrepresented.

As an Italian, I have the natural ability to pull a knife out and open it pretty quickly-- so this feature is pretty useless to me.

Pass.

Shipping comes up as $7.99, making it almost double the price. Not worth it.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
