The Benchmade Lowden Flipper 491GY-01 is a compact, precision-built folding knife designed for those who demand top-tier performance in an everyday carry. Built in the USA with premium materials and attention to detail, this knife merges functional design with modern styling, making it an ideal choice for EDC users, knife enthusiasts, and collectors alike. At the heart of the Lowden Flipper is a 2.79-inch spear-point blade made from M390 stainless steel—widely respected for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. With its gray Cerakote finish, the blade is both discreet and durable, engineered to handle daily tasks with ease while maintaining a sharp edge through repeated use. The handle is constructed from tough, lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in a bold Phoenix Red for an eye-catching appearance that doesn’t compromise grip or durability. This aerospace-grade aluminum provides strength without excess weight, ensuring a secure in-hand feel while keeping the overall carry weight to just 2.99 ounces. A Flat Dark Earth (FDE) anodized lock bar and clip provide subtle contrast, rounding out the knife’s refined and distinctive aesthetic.

Benchmade’s patented AXIS Lock mechanism delivers smooth, reliable one-handed operation with ambidextrous accessibility. The integrated flipper tab ensures fast deployment, while the reversible, tip-up pocket clip offers convenient and discreet carry for both right- and left-handed users. At just over 4 inches closed and 6.8 inches open, the Lowden strikes a balance between portability and utility. It slips easily into your pocket without adding bulk but is always ready to perform. Whether you're opening packages, cutting cordage, or just appreciating fine American craftsmanship, the Lowden Flipper handles it all with ease. Proudly made in the USA, the Benchmade Lowden Flipper 491 is a testament to precision manufacturing and innovative design—perfect for those who expect the best in their everyday gear.
