Benchmade - Gold Class Lowden - 250-Piece Limited Edition - Black DLC Drakkar Damascus - 491BK-261 - knife
The new Gold Class 491BK-261 Lowden represents the most exclusive iteration of the Lowden platform. A high-performance knife that pays homage to the great achievements of American aeronautics in the space age, combining sophisticated design, advanced technologies, and craftsmanship of the highest caliber.
Built on a 6Al-4V titanium frame with a black DLC finish, it is enhanced by marbled carbon fiber inserts, which add depth and movement to the structure. The gold-plated steel bolster introduces an elegant and distinctive contrast, inspired by the canopy of the F-22 Raptor fighter jet.
The spear-point blade is crafted from exclusive Drakkar Damasteel, a 72-layer Damascus steel that reveals its complexity through the bevel’s finish and a deep acid etching, which highlights a fluid and dynamic pattern. The result is a cohesive ensemble of premium materials and finishes. The 72-layer Damasteel offers a rich, layered visual depth, while the DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating combines protection with a technical aesthetic.
From a mechanical standpoint, the Lowden platform stands out for its fluidity and precision. The ball-bearing-mounted flipper opening mechanism ensures rapid and controlled movement, while the AXIS Lock system provides a secure closure and a solid, consistent feel during use.
The Gold Class 491BK-261 Lowden combines advanced engineering, premium materials, and an aesthetic inspired by the aerospace industry, resulting in a balanced, refined, and highly distinctive creation.

Staying true to the motto "Yours, for Life", Benchmade combines advanced mechanical engineering (aerospace-grade CNC machining, laser cutting) with rigorous quality controls and handcrafted finishes.

AXIS® Lock Technology
The heart of Benchmade folding knives. A patented, 100% ambidextrous locking system, extremely robust and reliable. It allows for quick one-handed opening and closing and is considered one of the most advanced safety mechanisms in the folding knife world, superior to traditional liner locks.

Pioneers in the use of sintered steels (PM), Benchmade knives employ high-end materials such as CPM-MagnaCut, CPM-S30V, CPM-S90V, and CPM-M4. Each blade undergoes optimized heat treatments to ensure the best possible balance between hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.
Blue, Black & Hunt Class
Benchmade organizes its production into three distinct classes: Blue Class for daily EDC, Black Class dedicated to professionals and law enforcement, and Hunt Class designed for hunting, featuring SelectEdge™ technology for superior field performance.
