Benchmade Lowden Crater Blue Aluminum, 3.5 inch M390 Spear Point Blade, Made in USA (491)

A Refined Everyday Carry with Modern Materials

The Benchmade 491 Lowden delivers a clean, modern take on the everyday carry folding knife. With its 3.5 inch M390 spear-point blade, the Lowden offers excellent edge retention, stainless performance, and a precise cutting profile that works well for daily tasks. The Crater Blue 6061-T6 aluminum handle gives the knife a lightweight but durable frame, finished with sculpted lines that add both grip and visual appeal.

Smooth manual action, premium blade steel, and Benchmade’s American manufacturing make the Lowden a standout for anyone wanting a sleek, reliable folder that balances style and performance.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

The Lowden surprised me the first time I handled it. The sculpted aluminum feels great in hand, the M390 blade punches above its weight, and the design carries slimmer than its size suggests. It brings Benchmade quality in a very clean, modern form.
