Annnnnnd we have another liftoff! The Lander 3 is the newest member of the Knafs fam. The TL;DR version: it\’s same 2.75\” blade length as the Lander 1 with two major upgrades:

• S35VN Steel – that delicious, corrosion resistant workhorse steel
• Clutch Lock – the Kizer version of a crossbar with adjustable spring tension

The Lander 3 builds on the open source nature of the Lander 1 and 2, but it brings this beautiful combo of size, materials, and mechanisms– all the things we love. Designer Ben Petersen see\’s this knife as his Apollo 14– a Moon mission that was a fascinating case study in perseverance. It came a year after Apollo 13 became a near-disaster. The commander of 14 was Alan Shepherd– a guy who hadn\’t been able to launch because of his health. But they did it! Those bosses landed on the Moon, and Shepherd hit golf balls off the lunar surface. When he stepped off the Lunar Lander, he said, \”It\’s been a long way, but we\’re here.\”
