Buck 417 Budgie Green – Indestructible EDC Knife

Meet the Buck 417 Budgie Green, a premium ultralight folding knife born from Buck’s heritage and reimagined for today’s everyday carry. It vanishes in your pocket yet delivers serious performance, making it a dependable companion for offices, commutes, and outdoor adventures alike.

Premium materials, precise edge

Blade: A 2" drop-point blade crafted from S35VN steel offers edge retention that rivals the best in class, while remaining refreshingly easy to resharpen. With a Rockwell hardness of Rc 59–61, it stands up to daily chores and light yard tasks without losing control or feel.

Feather-light, rugged build

Weighing just 2.1 oz (59.5 g) and sporting a compact footprint, Budgie Green slips into a coin pocket or rides beside your keys—without adding bulk or drawing attention.

Durable, purpose-built handle

The Green G10 handle is a near-indestructible resin laminate that resists heat, cold, chemicals, and impact. Its machined grip on the lock arm provides reliable traction for confident one-handed operation.

Smart, safe design for everyday use

A full-bellied drop-point blade with a top that slopes toward the tip minimizes accidental punctures, while the thumbhole enables smooth, one-handed opening when you need it most.

Carry, secure, and maintain with ease

The removable stainless steel pocket clip slides into a coin pocket or small front pocket, and the lanyard spacer adds grip for larger hands while serving as a handy attachment point. The frame-lock design keeps moving parts to a minimum, delivering a sturdy, lightweight locking mechanism that’s easy to clean and maintain.

Made in the USA with Buck reliability

Built with Buck’s craftsmanship and quality controls, the Budgie Green embodies practical, high-performance design you can trust every day. It’s an evolution of Buck’s design language, tailored for reliable EDC use in a compact package.

Real-world use cases

• Office and daily tasks: open packages, trim packaging, and perform precise utility cuts with control and discretion.
• Travel and commuting: lightweight, easy to stow, ready for quick chores on the go.
• Outdoors and quick ventures: compact enough for trail chores while staying out of the way in your pack.

Why Budgie Green stands out

In a true ultralight form factor, Budgie Green pairs premium blade steel with a durable G10 handle and Buck’s low-profile frame-lock system. It delivers robust edge stability, easy maintenance, and one-handed access without the bulk of larger folders—perfect for buyers who value preparedness, reliability, and a subtle, professional look.
