FEATURES
A BELOVED FIXED BLADE RESHAPED AS A FOLDERThe Buddy II is the latest addition to the Buddy family, evolving from the original fixed-blade design into a folding format. It delivers balanced proportions that make it ideal for everyday carry. We heard it loud and clear from our Buddy fixed-blade fans: 'I'm obsessed with the paw print, but I wish it could disappear into my pocket.' Your feedback inspired the Buddy II. By reimagining Maksim's iconic, flowing lines into a folding format, we've packed the same warmth and reliability into a sleek, pocket-friendly design. It's an evolution. Still gentle, still dependable, and now ready to tag along on every urban adventure with a lighter, more discreet footprint.
A FUN AND FIDGETY FRIEND IN YOUR PALMWhile a fixed blade is a steady anchor, a folder is all about the rhythm in your fingertips. The Buddy II features a silky-smooth action that turns every deployment into a tactile joy. Whether you're snapping it open via the thumb hole or enjoying the crisp, mechanical 'click' of the retract, it's the ultimate fidget companion. Perfectly sized for those moments of reflection, a quiet walk, or a quick coffee break, it dances in your palm with the playful energy of a puppy eager to welcome you home.
THE KIZER CLUTCH LOCK™The Kizer Clutch Lock™ provides fast, controlled action with excellent stability, ensuring dependable engagement even after repeated use. When paired with the intuitive thumb stud, it offers a seamless deployment and secure handling, and a refined feel that's perfectly suited for EDC.
ICONIC PAW LINER – A KNIFE THAT CONNECTSThe Buddy II knife is inspired by the bond between humans and dogs, featuring a non-aggressive blade shape and a dog paw cutout in the handle for a personal and meaningful touch. Its ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip. Multiple materials are available to suit different preferences and conditions: Acrylic handles stand out with their brilliant clarity and stunning visual depth, allowing for the integration of colorful patterns, pigments, and unique inclusions to create a one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Beyond its eye-catching appearance.
STEEL THAT LASTS, FINISHES THAT PERFORMMade from premium Germany AEB-L stainless steel, which is highly regarded for its excellent toughness, good corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening to a razor-like edge, ideal for daily carry and maintenance. It comes in two finishes: the blade features either a satin finish to reduce light reflection or a black PVD coating & stonewashed that adds surface durability and a low-profile appearance. Both finishes ensure consistent cutting performance and long-lasting reliability for daily carry and utility tasks.
VERSATILE DROP POINT FOR EVERYDAY TASKSThe drop point blade combines precision and durability, making it suitable for a variety of cutting needs. Whether opening packages, preparing food, or handling bait, its balanced shape transitions seamlessly across everyday tasks.
ENHANCED CONTROL & DISCREET CARRYDesigned for both control and everyday discretion, the handle features grooved sides that improve grip while reducing weight, enhancing balance and handling precision. A textured spine and well-defined finger choil provide added stability, making cutting motions more accurate and comfortable. The deep-carry, reversible pocket clip ensures a secure, low-profile fit, allowing the knife to sit discreetly in the pocket while remaining ready for quick deployment.
