Sleek, modern, and built for speed — the Benchmade 491GY-01 Lowden™ marks a bold return to the flipper category. With its M390 spear point blade, fiery Phoenix Red anodised aluminium handle, and smooth AXIS® Lock flipper action, this August 2025 release fuses cutting-edge performance with striking style. Compact, snappy, and made in the USA, the Lowden™ is the new benchmark in precision flippers.
Most flippers feel flashy but forgettable. You want one that looks incredible, feels balanced, and performs like a true Benchmade.
