The Knafs Lander 2 Charcoal Micarta Tanto takes the proven Lander 2 platform and gives it a darker, more aggressive personality. Dressed in grayscale with a charcoal canvas Micarta handle, black thumb stud, black clutch lock, and black stonewashed S35VN tanto blade, this folder combines dependable everyday performance with a look that's hard to overlook.
The 3.16-inch tanto blade is crafted from S35VN stainless steel and finished in black stonewash. With its distinctive angular profile, the tanto blade offers a strong point and straight cutting edges that make it well suited for piercing and demanding cutting chores. The flat grind and 18°-20° edge angle provide practical cutting geometry, while the 59-61 HRC hardness rating gives the S35VN blade a solid balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black stonewashed finish complements the knife's stealthy grayscale appearance while giving the blade a rugged, broken-in character.
The charcoal canvas Micarta handle gives the Lander 2 a secure, durable foundation for everyday carry. Micarta is made from layered fabric and resin, creating a material that's lightweight, strong, and comfortable in the hand. It holds up well to rough use and can maintain a dependable grip even when conditions get wet or messy. The charcoal color adds to the knife's subdued, black-ops-inspired appearance while giving it a distinctive texture.
At 7.25 inches overall and 4.25 inches closed, the Lander 2 offers a useful combination of blade length and pocket-friendly dimensions. Weighing only 2.65 ounces, it's light enough for comfortable all-day carry. The 0.45-inch-thick handle provides a solid grip without making the knife unnecessarily bulky.
The clutch lock provides secure blade retention during use, while caged ceramic bearings help deliver smooth action through the thumb-stud opening mechanism. A tip-up, ambidextrous pocket clip gives you flexible carry options and keeps the knife ready when you need it.
This Lander 2 also retains the platform's fast-swap, open-source scale design, giving owners plenty of room for future customization. It's the same dependable Lander 2 concept, refined with a darker color palette and a new tanto blade shape.
