When Benchmade’s 2025 catalog dropped at the beginning of the year, one of the most intriguing entries was for a modern flipper knife that, at the time, did not have a physical prototype or even a name. Now it is here and available, and it is called the Lowden.
In terms of output, Benchmade is thoroughly modern, committed almost exclusively to folders with all the trappings of current gen knife-tech – and that makes sense, because one such piece of tech is central to the Benchmade brand: the Axis Lock. However, one thing that is not so common in the Blue Butterfly catalog is flipper knives. They certainly exist, but don’t form a large part of the company’s core offerings.
