Description  

Clean lines. Modern design. Unmatched precision.


The Benchmade 491 Lowden™ in Crater Blue brings next-level craftsmanship to the flipper world. Featuring an M390 spear point blade, smooth AXIS® Lock flipper action, and lightweight 6061-T6 anodised aluminium handle, this August 2025 release delivers everything you expect from Benchmade — speed, control, and reliability. Compact yet commanding, it’s built to perform and made to last in the USA.

Most flippers are all flash, no staying power. You need one that feels balanced in hand, fires cleanly every time, and holds an edge like a pro-grade tool should.

Features

✔️ M390 Stainless Steel – Premium spear point blade for outstanding edge retention and corrosion resistance
✔️ Satin Finish – Subtle sheen that resists wear while showing off the blade’s fine lines
✔️ AXIS® Lock Flipper – Smooth, ambidextrous action with fast, fidget-ready deployment
✔️ Crater Blue Aluminium Handle – Lightweight, milled for grip, with sleek anodised finish and bronze accents
✔️ Deep Carry Pocket Clip – Discreet, secure carry for everyday use
✔️ Made in USA – Built, tested, and finished by Benchmade’s expert makers

A modern flipper with classic Benchmade DNA — engineered for precision, reliability, and everyday carry that feels as good as it looks.

Smooth action. Confident control. A statement piece that feels just as sharp as it looks.
