Product Description

Modern design meets premium performance in the Benchmade Lowden 491SL-13. Featuring a sleek profile, cutting-edge materials, and Benchmade's proven AXIS® Lock technology, the Lowden is built for those who appreciate refined everyday carry gear without compromising capability.

At the heart of the Lowden is a 2.79" CPM-S90V spear point blade engineered for exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Widely regarded as one of the finest premium blade steels available, CPM-S90V delivers long-lasting cutting performance for users who expect the most from their everyday carry knife. The Crushed Silver Cerakote® finish enhances durability while giving the blade a distinctive modern appearance.

Precision-machined Crater Blue anodized aluminum handle scales provide outstanding strength and rigidity while maintaining a lightweight carry profile. Turquoise anodized accents create a striking visual contrast, giving the Lowden a premium look that stands apart from traditional EDC folders.

Designed around Benchmade's AXIS® Lock and smooth flipper deployment, the Lowden offers fast, intuitive operation with secure lockup and fully ambidextrous functionality. The bearing-driven action provides effortless deployment, while the deep-carry pocket clip keeps the knife discreetly and comfortably accessible throughout the day.

About brand

Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. set-up shop in Clackamas, Oregon in 1990 (originally founded in California in 1988). The initial knives primarily consisted of the Bali-Song knives, using a combination of outside vendors and inside processing to build finished products. And like most companies, starting out meant scarce money and big plans, using second hand equipment and limited resources.

Soon, a natural born fortitude and an undying passion to make it right and make it Benchmade, prospered into significant growth. As the product line grew so did the in-house capabilities. We began to acquire new machines and technologies including the first of several lasers, making Benchmade the first knife manufacturer to have such equipment in-house. Open minds and positive attitudes would lead to several more industry firsts over the course of the next several years.

This was only the beginning of Benchmade's breaking of new ground in the manufactured knife markets by using non-traditional materials and modern manufacturing methods in not only building knives better but, inevitably building better knives. The Designer Series was first introduced in 1991 with several custom designs being manufactured. By tapping into the custom knife makers' knowledge and combining it with our manufacturing expertise we were more readily able to offer more contemporary knife designs and innovations to the knife users.

Consecutive years of aggressive growth led to the next logical step in 1996 when Benchmade moved into its own 35,000 sq. ft. facility. A contemporary styled building complete with all of the modern equipment and amenities necessary to manufacture what has become recognized as a higher standard of specialty cutlery.

Today, Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. manufactures knives for a loyal and ever growing following of knife users. As we move into the 21st century we are poised for even more exciting opportunities, innovations and ongoing total world-class quality. Here at Benchmade we employ a simple philosophy- 'Make it cool, make it solid, make it happen and definitely make it Benchmade.'
