Benchmade 491BK-261 | Gold Class Lowden | Titanium | Carbon Fiber | Spear-Point

GOLD CLASS LOWDEN™

Inspired by the speed and precision of American experimental aircraft, the Gold Class Lowden™ pushes performance to new heights. A titanium frame with DLC finish, marbled carbon fiber, and a polished brass bolster set the foundation. The Drakkar™ Damasteel® blade reveals a 72-layer pattern shaped by deep acid etching—echoing the shockwaves of supersonic flight.

Limited to just 250 pieces worldwide, this is precision engineered for those who demand more.

With aerospace-grade precision at its core, the Lowden™ is a high-speed, low-drag knife with smooth, fast flipper action. Now we’re pushing the envelope with the Gold Class 491BK-261 Lowden™, an ultra-premium ode to American aeronautical achievement in the space age.

Built on a titanium frame with a stealthy DLC finish and marbled carbon fiber onlay, this Lowden™ features a polished brass bolster echoing the cockpit canopy of an F-22 Raptor. The spear-point blade is composed of Drakkar™ Damasteel®, a unique pattern produced with 72 layers that are revealed only by beveling. Following a deep acid etch, the textured pattern resembles the leading-edge shockwaves of an aircraft travelling at supersonic velocities. Limited to just 250 pieces worldwide, give into the need for speed.
