Buck 713 Ruckus Green – Reliable Frame-Lock Folding Knife

The Buck 713 Ruckus Green is built for everyday performance with rugged reliability wrapped in a compact frame-lock design. This knife is designed to stay dependable from quick box openings to field tasks on outdoor trips, making it a true workhorse for daily carry.

At the heart of the Ruckus is a 3.50" drop-point blade crafted from D2 steel. Renowned for exceptional wear resistance and long edge retention, this blade stays sharp through demanding chores. The stonewashed finish not only reduces glare but also disguises light wear, keeping the knife looking ready for work even after hard use. A precise 0.130" blade thickness delivers the right balance of rigidity and controlled flex for accurate cuts, pierce-and-slice versatility, and durable everyday duty.

Security and ease of use come from the frame-lock mechanism, which provides secure lockup and confident blade control during every cut. The green anodized aluminum handle offers a lightweight, tough grip that stands up to daily abuse, while the stainless steel deep-pocket clip is removable and reversible for left- or right-handed carry—so quick access is possible in tight spaces or crowded pockets.

Designed for a broad range of scenarios, the Buck 713 Ruckus Green excels in everyday tasks, outdoor adventures, and travel maintenance. Whether you’re opening parcels at the office, trimming rope on a camping trip, or performing quick repairs on the go, this knife delivers practical performance with every use. The drop-point geometry delivers a safe, controllable tip for precise piercing and clean slicing, while the robust frame-lock ensures secure deployment and confident operation.
