Knafs Lander 1 Scales – Contoured Python Canvas

🛠 CNC-Machined & Contoured Scales by Mountain Path Design

Give your Knafs Lander 1 a distinctive new look and feel with custom CNC-machined, contoured Python Canvas Micarta scales, made in-house at Mountain Path Design.

These scales are machined from quality canvas micarta sourced from Masecraft Supply, featuring alternating layers of Black, Natural, Brown, and Red. They're produced using the same proven CNC machining programs developed for my custom G-Carta scales.

The contoured profile provides a comfortable, shaped grip while revealing the unique layering and color transitions within the material.

Designed for everyday carry, these scales combine an eye-catching, multi-colored material with precision machining and small-batch craftsmanship.

🔷 About These Scales

Material: Canvas Micarta
Pattern: Python Canvas – Black, Natural, Brown & Red
Layering: Alternating 1:1:1:1 Color Layers
Profile: Contoured
Material Supplier: Masecraft Supply
Fitment: Knafs Lander 1
Manufacturing: CNC Machined by Mountain Path Design in Utah

Python Canvas Micarta is made from layers of canvas fabric bonded together with resin, creating a durable composite material with a distinctive layered appearance.

The repeating sequence of Black, Natural, Brown, and Red creates a complex pattern that becomes especially noticeable when the material is machined into a contoured shape.

As the CNC machining removes material at different depths, the layers are exposed in flowing lines and color transitions, producing a pattern reminiscent of python snakeskin.

Each set reveals its own variations in the material's layering, making every pair visually distinctive while maintaining the same overall design and fitment.

Unlike the one-off sets in my From the Workbench Collection, these scales are part of Mountain Path Design's regular small-batch production and may be manufactured again as materials and demand allow.

⚙️ How They're Made

Each set goes through a hands-on machining and finishing process in my Utah shop:

  • Quality Python Canvas Micarta material is selected and prepared for machining
  • Material is carefully oriented to highlight the multi-colored layering and provide a complementary appearance across the set
  • Precision CNC machined with a contoured profile, using the same proven programs as my G-Carta scales
  • Edges and surfaces are finished for comfortable handling
  • Left and right scales are matched into a complete set

The contoured geometry is designed to provide a comfortable grip without adding unnecessary bulk, while showcasing the unique color transitions within the material.

Machined in-house. Contoured for comfort. Built for everyday carry.

🔥 Why Choose MPD Scales?

  • Precision CNC Machined & Contoured – Shaped for comfortable handling using established machining programs developed for MPD's G-Carta scales
  • Quality Materials – Made from Python Canvas Micarta sourced from Masecraft Supply
  • Comfortable Grip – Contoured surfaces provide a natural feel in the hand
  • Distinctive Python Pattern – Black, Natural, Brown, and Red layers create flowing patterns across the contoured surfaces
  • Small-Batch Production – Machined and finished in my Utah shop
  • Made for Everyday Use – Durable composite material suited for regular handling and carry
  • Repeatable Designs – Part of MPD's ongoing knife scale lineup rather than a one-time release

🔩 Fit & Hardware Compatibility

These scales are designed specifically for the Knafs Lander 1, using the original mounting locations and general factory geometry.

The contoured design follows the same machining geometry used for MPD's G-Carta Lander 1 scales.

The shoulder hole height is designed to accommodate a range of factory hardware combinations. However, screw lengths can vary between different Lander 1 configurations.

If your existing screws are slightly too long or too short, replacement hardware kits are available directly from Knafs.

🛠️ Notes

  • Natural variations in micarta color, texture, and layering are normal
  • Each set may vary slightly in appearance from the product photos
  • The Python pattern may appear differently across individual sets due to material orientation and machining depth
  • Micarta may darken slightly with handling, oils, and regular use
  • Colors may appear different depending on lighting and screen settings
  • Designed specifically for the Knafs Lander 1
  • These are aftermarket scales manufactured by Mountain Path Design, not factory Knafs scales

Mountain Path Design is an independent manufacturer of these aftermarket scales and an authorized Knafs dealer.
