The Lander is the knife that started it all for Knafs—designed by the nicest guy in the knife world, Ben Petersen. But this version of the Lander 1 is the one that truly moved the needle for many, with 14C28N stainless steel and contoured green canvas micarta scales.
It’s built on the same customizable platform you love, now with a corrosion-resistant steel upgrade and scales that feel great in hand—grippy, tough, and full of character. Fast Swap Scales let you mod without a full teardown, and Knafs even open-sourced the scale files so anyone can build their own. Easy to carry, easy to tweak—the Lander is truly a knife of possibilities.

Knafs and Schtuff
Ben Petersen—known by many as Ben Banters—is a knife designer, co-founder of Knafs, and the friendly face behind “What iiiiiis up guys” from Blade HQ’s Knife Banter. With 12 years in the gear world, he and his wife Athena started Knafs in 2018 and went full-time in 2022. Now they're not just making knives, they're making all sorts of "schtuff
Where It Started
It all began with the Lander 1—an approachable design that was more than just budget-friendly. With its Fast Swap Scales, it was built to be customized without a full teardown. Knafs even provides 3D files so you can print or make your own scales, making it one of the most mod-friendly knives around. And it somehow survived our brutal torture test.
MEAT, Micarta, Trucks, and Whiskey
The ingenuity and cleverness of Ben Petersen knows no bounds. On a whim and a joke, one of our favorite collaborations to date was born, the MMTW Landers.
