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.

✔️ Crater Blue Aluminium Handle – Lightweight, milled for grip, with sleek anodised finish and bronze accents
