I guess I had $30 burning a hole in my pocket so I bought this mystery deal bowie knife / machete box. I received a $14 NRA tactial survival knife (which is a great survival knife), a $15 black legion death rider (neat looking but, no real practical use), and a $20 Colombian sawback machete (the only machete / bowie knife in the box). Over all it was good deal (some what misleading) and for $30 my expectations were not high. I am pleased with the purchase but, it could be debated that 2 of the 3 items might not fit the definition of a bowie knife or a machete. 4 out of 5 stars.

Not a bad deal, it was fair. I got a united cutlery columbian machete, a weird unusable black legion fantasy spear-machete thing and a usmc tacticool tanto-combat style knife. Not my thing but a grab bag is a gamble.

I purchased this item excpecting around 40$ worth of items, I got $70 worth of amazing blades

I took another chance, I did I mystery deal one other time, wasn't happy but BudK took care of that, but this Bowie & machete deal was great, thanks again guys!!!!!

I was very pleased to have received two large Bowie knives and a kukri style machete. Well worth the money. My only issue was a few cracks running through the handle of one Bowie knife. Thanks!

This was my first order from BudK and I will definitely order this item again and again. The knives I received were excellent. I sold two of the three pieces to co-workers as soon as they saw them, one sold for more than the cost of the original deal!!!. Thanks for the great products and service.

Ordered this and received 3 of the exact same timber rattler Bowie knives. Nice knives but, a little bit of variety would have been nice. I have ordered many of the mystery deals on here before and always been pleased with them. I understand duplicates can happen but three of the same knife cmon.

i got this mystery bag, but i was kinda skeptical, because usually "mystery" anything means it's not gonna be as great for the money as if one were to choose any items you actually like themselves individually for the same cost(we all remember those mystery bags of trading card when we we were kids, what a rip, right?) however in my order, i got 2 Timber Rattler knives (retails for $30 each according to another site that sells them) they were selling them for $20 plus s&h. the other item i got was a custom cutlery knife (BK1219) that according to the official site retails for $40 and they sell it for $26.99 plus s&h but it's on sale for $15.98 plus s&h so, i'd be normally looking at around $67.00 plus s&h i got for $40 through true swords' mystery bag deal (including shipping) so, you may as well say they were $10 a knife. just make a note that it is unlikely, but possible you could receive a duplicate knife in the package as i did. and just a little note all the knives came with a sharp edge maybe not perfect (that's above my pay grade) but still sharp it's ok, though. i like the knife i received duplicates of a lot. i like the mystery bag so much and the price was right, so i ordered another mystery bag. am still awaiting it's arrival, but i ordered it on a weekend so it likely won't be here for 4 or 5 days or so. this deal is really worth it and i highly recommend it

Took a chance . First time buying from this site . Got 2 large Timber Rattlers with camel bone handles ( One completely white , other spotted ) and a Timber Wolf with engraved guard along with stag/wood mixed handle . The Rattlers were razor sharp ( Literally ) and the sheaths alone were worth $30 alone ( Thick real leather . No imperfections . WOW.... ) The Wolf had equal quality sheath . Only issue found was blade was sharpened off center ( Factory no doubt ) causing uneven cutting surface . 30 min on stones fixed that . Razor sharp . I did use all three knives and chopped through 3 different sections of a dried 3 1/2" pine log as seen in some of the videos . All 3 knifes had no issues cutting through . I wiped them off and all sliced through paper the same as before cutting without stropping the blades . Very impressed with quality of steel and sturdiness of handles and materials . Not just wall hangers , actual functioning tools which I like very much . Showed some friends of mine , we are chipping in on a few more mystery deals for sure . Thank you BUDK.

OK they are from Pakistan...but for the money they are great. I gave one to a friend and he was pumped. There use one issue is the knife with the bone handle was cracked.,
