Good luck trying to cancel your subscription. I tired EVERY email on their site and the phone line was endless hold. Finally had to do a chargeback to get it to stop.

I joined the buyers club for a year i bought knives then all of the sudden stopped receiving catalogs after I received the 1 catalog

I purchased the stag horn from bud k, expecting a quality very beautiful addition to my growing collection. What I received was a thick, heavy and absolutely worthless piece of steel! It's not even flat. Not polished, no edge, nothing as described in their catalog! I wouldn't have paid $20 for this $140 knife if I would have actually seen one before hand and not just their posted picture. Do not waste your $$!!

Received knife with screw missing from handle very disappointing.

They charged me twice for this order causing great financial burden on me. They kept my money for 10 days until I eventually called my bank and placed a freeze on my account so they couldn't charge me more. This is the worst experience iv actually had online. After bank investigation they refunded me the extra charge but omg be very careful on this site. Now the knife arrived last night and I gotta tell you is definitely my favorite knife by far. It came duller than a PBS episode on Donald trumps business practices but is exceptional in quality. I worked on the blade for 2 hours this morning to get it sharp but I'm here to tell you the armed forces otf is a one of a kind built like a 1911 out of Quality material. It took edge slower than normal steel because it's hardened but that means it will hold edge longer. It's automatic open and close with a push of a button and I absolutely love my purchase. The fact that this company charged me twice is the reason only 2 star, it's not got anything to do with the knife itself as it's a 10 star knife. It's absolutely built like a tank and I'm guessing it'll last a lifetime. I asked to speak to a supervisor and have yet to get that call. She messaged me and said she would call me shortly, now 2 days later with no call. I deserve compensation for my troubles as this was my first order and they charged me $183 for a $91 order. So the free m48 cyclone is not worth the trouble at all but it's free with orders of $50 or more. It's also lacking an edge and by design it's almost impossible to sharpen. I could have done very well without it. I absolutely love this armed forces out the front. It compares to the Benchmade infidel in every aspect except the blade material. I love this knife. If you order from this site ve prepared to pay double and wait 10 days for refund. When I ordered the armed forces otf was out of stock, I'm guessing that's why they held my money till it was in stock but still causing extreme financial burden.

More hassle than what it's worth. They wouldn't put my online order in until I called and answered a bunch of questions then proceeded to charge me twice in two different amounts for the same product. they have no idea when I'll get my refund.

Thank you for reaching out. Orders are verified to ensure customer safety, to make sure that you're the one placing the order and that no one else is using your information without your permission. Order can be held for many reasons. Orders shipping to an address that has not been used on your account, placing multiple orders back to back, first time orders that are a high dollar amount, and a few more are things we have seen often with fraudulent orders. We do understand that this can cause frustration, but it is done to ensure that your information is not being used fraudulently. As for the authorization and payment showing separately, we are working on solving this issue. The authorization is a temporary hold on the funds and typically releases within a few days. If the authorization and payment show separately please contact us so we can manually try to remove the authorization as we are not notified by the banks that they are showing separately. We deeply apologize for any frustration and inconvenience that this transaction has caused you. Have a great day.

Extremely hit and miss on quality. If returns weren't such a hassle then I'd send back 75% of the stuff I have received. Definitely done ordering from this place
