Anyone use BudK or TrueSwords?

BudK sells Cold Steel. Do those average out as "medium quality"?

Lol.

Tbh, I'm not well versed when it comes to the company in any way shape or form. I remember buying a small bust and knife from a flea market when I was young branded Bud K. I assumed they still had a branded product in some shape or form. In my experience, if that product exists today, it's wall hanger quality.

Most on there are. Musha is the only brand I buy to actually use as I have a few and tested them but beside that they r pretty much wall hangers. (Dont commit seppuku btw
 
When I was 12 or 13.

That's where it started, but would never get anything from that sort of quality now as an adult.
 
While I know Budk products are not good quality overall, I still love perusing the catalogs. Some of the products they sell are OK - sometimes I take a gamble. I love the Kissing Crane branded trappers, and they do not seem to be available elsewhere. Made in Taiwan, good quality.

On the other hand, I picked up a Kissing Crane Barlow in Green Burlap Micarta, sadly it was Paki made garbage. I was hoping for better, but sometimes its a gamble.
 
The Bud K catalog maybe the best outhouse literature known to man.
