Moultrie, Georgia: Collectors and outdoorsmen in the know have a name in their back pocket to which they can turn time and time again with the justified expectation that they will come away from the experience with something cool and unique.

That name is BUDK. One of the best knife stores on the internet if only for the depth and breadth of their product catalog, the company sells unique fixed and folding knives from brands such as Timber Wolf, Honshu, Shinwa and Ridge Runner, in addition to more mainstream brands like Benchmade and Smith & Wesson.

As a knife store BUDK sells far more than just the ordinary. They carry standard autos and traditional pattern pocket knives, along with a ton of cool stuff that defies succinct description. Many of their knife patterns are inspired by fantasy and they carry a lot of truly interesting and one-of-a-kind products.

In the same vein, BUDK carries officially-licensed Lord of the Rings swords as well as anime swords, in addition to modern replicas of traditional patterns, such as gladius swords and cutlasses.

They also stock a variety of replica bayonets patterned on historically significant models, along with a variety of battle-ready swords, made with appropriate steel alloys and tempers, and sporting full tangs, in addition to daggers and other real and replica weapons.

On top of their bladed tools, BUDK also carries an assortment of surprisingly budget friendly and even more surprisingly functional crossbows (including pistol crossbows) along with a massive crop of “cool stuff.”

The generic descriptor does not do their product catalog justice. A small sampling of their catalog will yield lock pick sets, barware and other glassware, armor, home decor and items for the house and garage, paracord, radios and survival gear, and much more along the same lines.

They also carry lighters, lanterns, hatchets, axes, saws and other tools, spy gear, and security essentials like pepper spray, batons, stun guns and more. In a word, what they carry can’t be easily summarized.

There is only one way to do justice to what they offer, and that is with a trip to their website, where the experience can be properly absorbed. There’s something for every taste, particularly for knife and sword collectors, as well as for fans of fantasy, anime, and military history.
