Budk trolling?

Timber wolf is one of their brands that they have been pushing for a while. I'm not surprised they would charge this much for a timber wolf product. I'm sure the people who buy there often will assume its good quality since its "damascus steel" considering they said this "The razor sharp 7 5/8" AUS-6 stainless steel blade will stay sharper, longer than those cheap sub-par steel blades"
 
I think BudK's best trolling is all those YouTube videos where they chop 2 liter pop bottles with their 1337 BLADZ!!!
 
OMG!!!! here is another one....
Like the fiery flashes of spectral light and color that scatter across the sky to form a rainbow, Timber Wolf's Refractor Fixed Blade Knife is nothing short of breathtaking - a rare, polychromatic vision in a world of ordinary gray cutlery. Gorgeous, savage, yet surprisingly affordable, the Refractor represents not only the apex of fixed blade knife design, but collector value, as well. The 4 1/2" drop point blade is hand-forged from high carbon "raindrop" Damascus steel, unmistakable by its torrent of concentric circles that, together, mirror ripples on still water during a rainstorm. The distinctive steel is stunning on it's own, but the Refractor ventures further, casting a glittering, prismatic spell over the graceful blade. Employing a unique, painstaking colorization process, the blade's swirling melange of contrasting eddies and waves is highlighted and enhanced by a rich iridescent rainbow finish. The vivid hues - emerald, azure, crimson, gold and countless more - blend seamlessly with the meticulously hand-hammered and folded steel, shimmering with an otherworldly boldness and sparkling with radiant luminosity. It's easy to get carried away with the Refractor's incredible visual allure, but make no mistake - this is no mere showpiece, best relegated to the display case.
 
They do dish it out!!!

"What matters, nonetheless, is that his passion has been contagious and now flows in their veins, in their lives, making them surprise him every day with new creations, which he would never even have been able to imagine. So many materials. Such different processes. The speed of blade production with 3D design, water jet cutting and laser cutting. And yet, if we look at the real essence behind it all, not much has changed between then and now. The real furnace burns away inside of us, the bellows are the sound of our heartbeat. High technology, is, above all, powerful imagination, a journey of the mind inside a form, anticipating the difficulties and the resistance of the materials that you have to get to know and to love, to fight them fairly. To defeat the lion."
 
The lanyard hole.....right? Has a fantastic lanyard hole; what a fearure!! Hence the price:D

Does a large portion of these knife prices go to paying the description writer? I'd almost be expecting something forged from a unicorn horn in Dwarven forges after reading the description of that Refractor.
 
Peeee-yoooo!

"...it’s like comparing a 1960’s era F4 Phantom jet to a F22 Raptor Stealth Fighter. There’s just no going back. With the flipper opening system, it is by far the slickest, fastest, and hardest knife you will ever own. I guarantee it."

I think the BudK editorial staff are unemployed Harlequin romance writers. That industry got hit hard with the advent of e-Books and YouTube ;)

...and Dwarven weaponsmiths have a very tight union. I doubt BudK could afford them.
 
I still want a "Ring of Power". Hell, I could rule the world. Wait- my wife got the "Ring of Power" the day we got married! :oops:

The ad copy left me speechless - with laughter. Who wrote that? Some flack who threw a dictionary in the blender and used whatever words didn't get chopped up?

When the product can't sell itself, words have to...
 
I had no idea when I got on this thread I needed to be donning my hip waders. Normally, my standard work boots can handle anything that is dished out here on the forum :)
This has to be a sport for these people.
I can see a team of guys in a board room with a Texas fifth and shot glasses all over the table howling and interrupting each other. "No,no,no. I got it. Listen - "flashes of spectral light dance on the razor sharp edge of the blade like tiny ballerinas!" (side splitting laughter breaks out and bourbon shoots out of the nose of a colleague who is pounding on the table, while another falls off their chair.).
Thanks for all the laughs!
