Knafs Lander 1 – Black G10

The Lander 1 is the first knife released by Knafs — the foundation of the entire Lander series.

Compact, capable, and built around customization, the Lander 1 is designed as a pocket knife of possibility.

Simple. Reliable. Made to be personalized.

🚀 The Original Open-Source Platform

The Lander 1 introduced Fast Swap Scales — removable without fully disassembling the knife.

Remove four screws. Swap scales. No full teardown required.

Even better, the scale design is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. Users may:

This platform was built to encourage creativity and long-term ownership.

Replacement screws, clips, and parts are available, and disassembly does not void warranty coverage.

🔪 Blade Performance

The Lander 1 features a versatile drop point blade in D2 tool steel.

• Strong edge retention
• Reliable performance for daily tasks
• Stonewashed finish for durability and reduced maintenance
• Flat grind for efficient cutting

D2 provides excellent wear resistance and dependable everyday cutting capability.

🛠 Black Steel Scales

The Black Steel scales offer a completely different feel than traditional G10 or Micarta handle materials.

Stainless steel brings a satisfying weight and solid feel to the knife, creating a more substantial and deliberate experience in hand. The added heft shifts the balance of the knife and provides a grounded, confidence-inspiring feel during use.

The Black Steel variant features:

• Durable stainless steel construction
• Increased weight for a more substantial feel
• Excellent rigidity and long-term durability
• Clean, low-profile appearance
• Smooth action and balanced handling

Not everyone wants the lightest knife possible. For those who appreciate a knife that feels like a serious tool every time it comes out of the pocket, the Black Steel Lander 1 delivers a unique experience within the Lander lineup.
