For those who always bet on black, Benchmade’s latest Lowden is not only its most wallet-friendly flipper but also its most attractive. Making the Lowden even more unique is the fact that this knife employs Benchmade’s patented Axis Lock, not Axis Assist, making it the brand’s only truly manual flipper. Though both knives are pricey ($350), Benchmade just made the Lowden a bit more affordable, thanks to some darkly dazzling material swaps that turn it into arguably the best-looking of the bunch.
