491GY-01 Lowden™ | Phoenix Red Aluminum

Sleek, modern, and fast. Inspired by the symmetry and circular pommel of traditional daggers, we’re driving into flippers once again with a compact and fidgety new addition in the 491GY-01 Lowden™. Featuring our AXIS® Lock flipper mechanism for a smooth, snappy deployment, the 491GY-01 Lowden™ wields an M390 spear-point blade with a gray Cerakote® finish built for a fine, long-lasting edge. Outfitted with fiery Phoenix Red anodized aluminum handle scales which offer a palm-filling grip, along with a new deep-carry pocket clip and FDE accents, the 491GY-01 Lowden™ is an ultra-modern flipper built for performance and style.

Use & Care

• Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition
• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
• Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
• Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
