I've never heard of anything like this....give Bud K 300 bucks and you get a random revolver "made in Spain" they say. I assume they mean Italy

It's almost tempting to see what turns up as long as it's a revolver and not a Traditions Kentucky pistol

Bud K is a legit company, they pretty much deal in cheap swords, "survival gear" , knives and blackpowder revolvers

They say in the ad copy you'll get a functional, firing blackpowder revolver valued at $350-500 so they're probably "blems"
 
Well, for those not familiar, the profile looks like a Colt 1860 Army revolver clone, with the rebated cylinder, but the front sight is a bead, which is not typical of 1860 Army clones. You see that more commonly on 1851 Navy clones.

This looks too good to be true, so it probably isn't. Expect a Spanish-made clone with a brass frame and badly fitted parts.
 
Bud K is where you go when you know what to expect from them. Chinese made Samurai swords for $50, knockoff Ka-Bars, fantasy knife sets, broad swords with pot metal blades etc etc other weirdo stuff that no one really takes seriously

They've been around for a long time and as long as I can remember they've been the cheap knife place. I've been buying their stuff for probably 20 years. Who doesn't love 20 buck Ninja star sets or Confederate Bowies made in Pakistan, $30 Trench knives. Mystery cap and ball revolvers.........

It's oddly satisfying to open a box from BudK and you see your wooden nunchucks, a cleaver made from a railroad spike , brass knuckles and a slap jack and it didn't even cost more than 50 bucks. I used them as wall brickabrak in my basement until recently when I felt it was probably time to stop decorating my house like it was 1993

A guy I know bought one of their cheap stainless samurai katanas. (Stainless Is a terrible material for a sword) He brought it over when I was clearing out some brush and asked if he could cut some down with it ( he’d “sharpened” it on a grinder for the love of god). Remembering Huck Finn getting his fence painted I let him get to it. He chopped away in his best video game technique (including semi-Japanese sounding grunts). I stopped him when he got to a hornbeam the size of my wrist ( very tough wood). He assured me ,contrary to immediate evedence of him hacking through smaller sumac using two dozen Ill -delivered strokes) that he could chop through in one cut. I moved off away from any direct line within the plane of his stroke. And yes,he actually, and without irony, said”haiiiii-yah! The blade snapped in two different places sailing off into the woods where it will lay, Unrusted, until some future archaeologists find it and theorize about the battle of the unyielding hornbeam. Bud-k sells sword shaped objects, not swords.
 
Looked at the Bud K site for first time. Instantly reminded me of the Chinese knife vendors at the SHOT show. Thousands of knives displayed in huge booths with prices like .39 cents. Went away with a backpack full of free samples!!!

Those swords are made for basically LARPing and display

Any attempt to use any of those swords will just result in a broken sword and a wasted 29.99

It is the same junk found at every gun show, the blades chip or snap if you even look at them wrong

Gun Show Chinese junk knives , they aren't even sharp and probably no attempt to sharpen them should be made, the "steel" just flakes apart

Ive seen higher quality blades on dollar store steak knives
