The Knafs Lander 2 Reverse Tanto in Gold Aluminum takes a proven everyday carry platform and sends it into orbit with a flashy new finish, a hard-working blade profile, and premium Elmax steel. Inspired by the gold foil look of the Apollo lunar landers, this version brings serious pocket appeal without losing the practical design that makes the Lander 2 such a dependable EDC.
The 3.25-inch reverse tanto blade gives this Lander 2 a distinctive profile designed around a sturdy tip and useful cutting belly. Crafted from Elmax premium powder stainless steel, the blade delivers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it well suited for demanding everyday cutting tasks. The black stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged, work-ready appearance that pairs especially well with the bright gold handle. A flat grind and 18°-20° edge angle round out the blade's practical cutting geometry.
The gold aluminum handle is where this Lander 2 really stands apart. Its anodized finish catches the light with a bold metallic appearance, giving the knife a flashy look that's hard to overlook. At the same time, aluminum keeps the handle durable without adding unnecessary weight. Measuring 0.47 inches thick, the handle provides a solid platform in the hand while maintaining a streamlined profile for pocket carry.
Opening the Lander 2 is quick and smooth thanks to the thumb studs and caged ceramic bearings. The clutch lock provides secure blade retention during use, giving you confidence when putting the reverse tanto to work. The ambidextrous, tip-up pocket clip lets you configure the knife for convenient carry on either side, while the compact 4.25-inch closed length keeps it easy to bring along.
At 7.5 inches overall and weighing just 3.3 ounces, the Lander 2 Reverse Tanto strikes a practical balance between capability and portability. It's large enough to provide a useful cutting tool but compact enough to remain comfortable as an everyday companion.
The Gold Aluminum Lander 2 isn't just another variation. It's a combination of a bold anodized finish, a distinctive reverse tanto blade, and Elmax steel, giving this trusted platform a fresh mission-ready identity. Whether you're adding it to a collection or carrying it every day, this is a Lander 2 with plenty of swagger.
The Gold Aluminum Lander 2 pairs Apollo-inspired swagger with a tough reverse tanto and premium Elmax steel, available at SMKW.
