Ornithologists, this one’s for you: Buck dropped a limited stealth run of the Budgie. It’s called the Mango Bird Budgie, and it stands out from the flock with an eye-popping coloration that is true to its namesake.
The Budgie (the knife), was one of the stars of Buck’s 2021 product drop. The sole new US-made folder from Buck that year, it was cute, capable, and compact, another result of Buck’s increasing interest in modern folding knife design. The Budgie came with S35VN steel, a G-10 front scale, and a stainless steel frame lock, all for a reasonable MSRP of $100.
It is cool to see Buck showing some nimbleness in catching trends, rather than only relying on legacy.
