THE Lander 4 Fixed Blade - Black Sheep

The Lander 4 Fixed Blade is the first fixed blade knife in the Lander series. This is the Black Sheep version, with contoured black micarta scales and the rugged and durable S35VN steel. This is Knafs' first ever sheepsfoot blade designed in-house, and we attached a brass booster bead via lanyard through the rear screw.

Someone asked me the other day why we keep expanding the Lander line. My response was something to the effect of, โ€œBakers gonnaโ€™ bake. Makers gonnaโ€™ make. Designers gonnaโ€™ design.โ€ This is what I do professionally, and the new ideas never let me rest. Humans continue planning Moon adventures because itโ€™s there. The Lander 4 is like that. I sat there looking at the Lander line, and I couldnโ€™t help but ask, โ€œWhatโ€™s missing here? What's next?โ€ An EDC fixie was an obvious choice. Make it pocketable. Interesting. Fun. Non-aggressive.

Sheepsfoot Blade

The Lander 4 "Black Sheep" features black micarta scales (more on that in a minute) and a Sheepsfoot Blade shape. Hence the name: "Black Sheep". Don't let the name fool ya, though, this is definitely not the outcast of the Lander lineup. We love a good sheepsfoot blade around here for cutting and slicing tasks when a pronounced tip isn't a necessity. This bad boy will be a great EDC companion when cutting up food, opening boxes (let's not lie, it's probably another knife in that box), or whatever else your everyday endeavors bring.

Black Micarta

Micarta is a popular handle material because it is a fabric that is incredibly strong, lightweight, wears well, and is durable. It has many applications in industries with no room for errors -- like on the brake systems of airplanes, or in x-ray machines. Micarta can handle high heat and rough elements, and is a scale material that performs well even after it's wet. If you're using your knife in a setting that is going to get messy, micarta gives you a steady grip for the entire task. Then we went and gave it this black color for a black-ops vibe.

S35VN Steel

S35VN has been widely adopted as a common steel by a multitude of knife brands because itโ€™s well-balanced. It does a great job at resisting corrosion, itโ€™s tough and abrasion-resistant, and it holds a good edge. Itโ€™s also easy to sharpen.
