The Lander 1 is in 14C28N stainless steel, and has contoured black canvas micarta scales! Trust us, we're just as excited as you are for this. Who doesn't love micarta? It's soft, contoured, and ever-changing in appearance, and not so slippery when wet. Sorry Bon Jovi... the only thing that could make this Lander any better was an upgraded stainless steel blade. It might sound like alphabet soup, but Sandvik 14c28n steel is nothing to scoff at. It has great corrosion resistance, is easy to sharpen, has solid edge retention, AND is extremely tough.
