Benchmade 491 Lowden

Benchmade has done it.
The Lowden 491 delivers something many have been waiting for: the combination of the AXIS® Lock with a flipper running on ball bearings.

Thanks to the newly engineered geometry, the blade opens incredibly fast and with precision. The flipper engages instantly, runs as smoothly as you could hope for, and brings an action not seen before from Benchmade.

The result is a knife that carries the familiar Benchmade character while adding a completely new dynamic. The Lowden is the fastest AXIS® Lock flipper the brand has built so far – modern, technically refined, and perfectly suited for everyday carry.

Warning / Safety Notice:

Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.

Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.

Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.

Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.

Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
