Him: What's the difference between AUS 6 and AUS 8?
Me: Don't get AUS 6. AUS 8 is good.
Him: Ok, cuz these AUS 6 knives are pretty cheap on this site.
Me: Are you on BudK?
Him: Yea, why?
Me: They suck.

haha nice, Actually BudK isn't that bad of a place if you know what you are looking for, i have actually gotten a few things from them. Like the UC M48 Tomahawk

For him it's good. I've had good experiences with it in about 4 different knives. Only bad experience is with the SOG Aegis. Just can't get it hair-shaving sharp, even though I can get the Blink, Flash I, and RAT I all razor sharp

Smokey Mountain, BudK, BladeMatrix, AG Russell and the others, all have some silly stuff. Trick is to know what you want, and dig until you find it. I have gotten some 'deals' at all of those places.

From my experience, neither are that great. They are both easy to sharpen but don't hold an edge that well. either way, if you are looking for deceit knives steer clear of that site!
