Elegant, modern, and fast. Inspired by the symmetry and circular pommel of traditional daggers, the 491 Lowden returns to explore the world of flippers with a new compact and lively addition.

Equipped with the AXIS Lock flipper mechanism for smooth and immediate opening, the 491 features a spear point blade in M390 stainless steel, designed to maintain a precise and long-lasting edge. The lightweight, milled Crater Blue anodized aluminum handle provides a secure grip, while the new deep-carry pocket clip and FDE accents complete the design.

The Lowden is an ultra-modern flipper, designed to combine performance and style.

Benchmade Knife Company – Made in USA Quality and Official Warranty

This knife is part of the production of Benchmade Knife Company, a historic US company based in Oregon (USA), recognized worldwide as one of the leading references in sports, outdoor, tactical, and high-precision EDC cutlery.

All Benchmade knives are designed, machined, and assembled in the United States, following advanced manufacturing processes and extremely rigorous quality controls. Benchmade was among the first companies to systematically introduce the use of CPM sintered super-steels, chosen to ensure an excellent balance between edge retention, mechanical resistance, and reliability over time.

A distinctive element of Benchmade folding knives is the patented AXIS® Lock system: an extremely robust, safe, and completely ambidextrous mechanism, designed to allow rapid opening and closing with one hand and long durability even under intensive use conditions.

This model is selected and sold by Coltelleria Collini, an Official Authorized Benchmade Dealer. We have been operating in the specialized cutlery sector since 1968, with physical stores, an in-house workshop, and concrete technical competence on the products we offer every day.
