Lander 4 Fixed Blade | Black Sheep Edition

Surprisingly comfortable to hold, especially with the included cone shaped paracord bead. Makes the handle feel larger than it is. S35VN steel holds a solid edge. I'd prefer a folded/taco style kydex sheath for compactness but it gets the job done. And the available scales make it nice to customize

Knafs Lander 4 Fixed Blade Sheepsfoot – Quick but Thorough Review

1. Sales & Ordering

Bought directly from Adventure Carry. The website was clean, pricing was upfront, and the Layby option was easy to use. Mitch was quick to respond to my pre-sale questions — honest, helpful, and clearly passionate about knives. For just over $200 AUD, you're getting solid value backed by Knafs' design ethos and community roots.

2. Delivery & Packaging

Shipping took only 2 business days to Lake Illawarra. Everything arrived in perfect condition — the knife was in its Kydex sheath with belt loop, plus spares, info sheet, and a bonus lolly. Minimal packaging, but protective and thoughtful.

3. Design & Materials

The sheepsfoot blade is ideal for utility and campsite work — great for controlled cuts with its straight edge and dropped tip. It’s made from S35VN, which has held a good edge, resisted rust, and sharpened easily with a diamond stone. The micarta handles are grippy even when wet and swappable for modders. Fit and finish were spot on — no rattles or sharp edges.

4. Ergonomics & Carry

Comfortable in all grips, with neutral shaping that works for big or small hands. Jimping is subtle but useful. The Kydex sheath has solid retention, a drain hole, and mounting flexibility. It carries well scout or appendix style — lightweight enough for EDC but built to work.

5. In Use

It sliced rope, broke down boxes, and prepped food with ease. The edge geometry is a sweet spot — slices well, holds up without chipping. Sharpening is straightforward and maintenance is low fuss.

Final Thoughts

What I Liked:

Clean design, solid ergos

Modding potential

Practical sheepsfoot blade

Quality steel and construction

What Could Improve:

Sheath draw is easy, but re-sheathing takes some alignment – might just be Kydex being Kydex.

Verdict:
A practical, well-thought-out fixed blade that’s built to be used. It doesn’t try to be flashy — just delivers on the basics with room for personalization. Great for EDC, camping, or as a dependable backup.
