KNAFS Lander 3
The KNAFS Lander 3 answers the question the community kept asking: what if the original Lander's 2.75 inch footprint came back with better steel and a better lock? KNAFS did exactly that, pairing a CPM S35VN drop point with the crossbar-style Clutch Lock in a folder that closes to 3.625 inches and weighs 2.7 ounces. It is the compact pick of the Lander family, sized for the pocket you actually carry every day.
Lander 3 Clutch Lock
The Lander 3 runs Kizer's Clutch Lock, an ambidextrous crossbar mechanism with adjustable spring tension, so the pull weight is yours to tune. Dual thumb studs and a ball bearing pivot give it smooth one-hand deployment, the blade drops shut with the bar pulled, and a reversible deep carry clip keeps it tip-up on either side.
Lander 3 vs Lander 2
The split comes down to size. The Lander 3 keeps the original Lander's 2.75 inch blade, while the KNAFS Lander 2 stretches to 3.25 inches for bigger hands and bigger jobs. Both share S35VN, the Clutch Lock, and swappable scales, and if you want to see how S35VN stacks up against the rest of the market, our knife steel comparison covers it in depth.
Lander 3 Scales and Colorways
Fast Swap scales come off without retuning the action, and KNAFS releases the CAD files free for home printing. The grid above spans printed Timberline and Good Vibes G-10, the satin-bladed Horizon Blue build, Moondust canvas micarta, and paper micarta runs wearing a two-tone clip point. Replacement scales and the rest of the lineup live in the full KNAFS collection.
