The Benchmade Lowden 491BK-02 is a premium everyday carry folding knife designed to deliver high-end cutting performance in a compact package. Its 2.79-inch spear-point blade is crafted from CPM-S90V stainless steel, providing exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance for everyday cutting tasks.
The blade receives a black finish that pairs with the textured black G10 handle for a clean, understated appearance. Burnt copper accents add distinctive detail without taking away from the Lowden’s practical EDC design. The G10 handle provides a secure grip while keeping the knife lightweight and comfortable for daily carry.
Benchmade’s ambidextrous AXIS® Lock provides secure blade lockup and smooth operation. The manual flipper allows quick one-handed deployment, while the compact overall dimensions make the Lowden easy to carry without sacrificing useful cutting capability.
