The Knafs Lander 3 Kitty Cosmo Crew brings a little cosmic personality to a bigger, more capable everyday carry platform. Part of the Lander 3 Explore Series, this pre-built folder combines a colorful UV-printed G10 handle with a rugged black stonewashed blade. It's built around the same dependable Lander 3 foundation, but this Kitty Cosmo Crew version adds plenty of attitude to your pocket.
The 2.75-inch drop-point blade is crafted from S35VN stainless steel and finished in black stonewash. The dark, rugged finish gives the blade a work-ready appearance while helping hide the inevitable marks that come with regular use. S35VN offers a balanced combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a solid choice for everyday cutting chores. A flat grind and 18°-20° edge angle provide practical cutting performance, while the 59-61 HRC hardness rating gives the blade the durability expected from a well-built EDC knife.
The Lander 3 is designed for smooth, reliable operation. A caged ceramic ball-bearing pivot helps keep the action fluid, while the thumb stud gives you a straightforward method of one-handed opening. The clutch lock, Kizer's adaptation of a crossbar lock, provides secure blade retention during use and allows convenient operation. A reversible, deep-carry pocket clip supports tip-up carry and lets you configure the knife to suit your preferred pocket.
The 0.45-inch-thick handle is constructed from UV-printed G10, giving the knife a durable and lightweight foundation. At just 2.7 ounces, the Lander 3 carries comfortably without adding unnecessary weight. It measures 3.63 inches closed and 6.38 inches overall when open, while the compact 2.75-inch blade makes it easy to carry and well suited for everyday cutting tasks.
The Kitty Cosmo Crew design gets its vibrant appearance from UV printing, a high-quality process that produces bright, bold graphics designed to resist fading. With everyday carry, however, the UV-printed scales can develop chips and wear. That's normal wear and tear, much like the honest scuffs that appear on gear that's actually used. The scales can start out striking and develop their own character over time, but everyday-carry chipping isn't covered under the warranty.
Compact, lightweight, and ready for action, the Kitty Cosmo Crew Lander 3 delivers capable S35VN performance with a bold cosmic-inspired personality. It's a pocket-ready EDC that's tough enough for the daily grind and fun enough to stand out from the crowd.
The Kitty Cosmo Crew Lander 3 is one cool cat with cosmic attitude, available at SMKW.
