Product detailed description
The Benchmade Lowden™ 491BK-02 is a compact and elegant folding knife designed for everyday carry.
This dark-toned variant combines a black blade, a black G10 handle and contrasting details in a Burnt Copper finish, giving the knife a striking and distinctive look.
The Spear Point-shaped blade is crafted from premium CPM-S90V stainless steel with a hardness of 59–61 HRC.
This modern powder-metal steel is characterised above all by its high wear resistance and long-lasting edge retention. The black Cerakote® finish complements the knife’s overall design and provides additional protection for the blade’s surface.
A flipper mechanism allows for quick one-handed opening, whilst the blade runs on ball bearings for smooth and swift operation. The tried-and-tested AXIS® Lock ensures the blade is securely locked in the open position, allowing for comfortable operation with either the right or left hand.
The handle consists of milled scales made from durable G10 material, offering a secure grip and good durability for everyday use.
The black pocket clip allows for tip-down carry and supports comfortable everyday carry.
The Benchmade Lowden™ 491BK-02 combines modern materials, a smooth mechanism and an elegant design into a compact EDC knife that impresses with both its appearance and the components used.

Benchmade Knife Company has earned its reputation as one of the leading American manufacturers of modern, high-tech knives. Since the late 1970s, the brand has focused on innovation, functional design, and real-world performance rather than short-lived trends. Precision manufacturing, advanced blade steels, and reliable locking systems define the Benchmade approach.
Early recognition came with the iconic Bali-Song folding knife, a model that highlighted mechanical ingenuity and balance. This success encouraged further development in blade geometry, handle ergonomics, and durability. Benchmade blends traditional knife-making values with contemporary engineering.
Based in Oregon, the company benefits from a strong local knife-making culture and a regulatory environment that supports craftsmanship and experimentation. Continuous testing and refinement play a major role in product development. As a result, Benchmade knives are trusted by professionals, military users, and demanding enthusiasts worldwide.
Today, the brand is closely associated with features such as the AXIS Lock mechanism, modern powdered steels, and long service life. Each knife feels purpose-built and technically refined. These qualities make Benchmade knives practical tools designed for everyday use and demanding conditions alike.
