BENCHMADE LOWDEN GOLD CLASS 491BK-261

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 gold-plated steel 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.
