"Like the wind." 🤣 I'm going to have to use that as a tagline. Thanks for the review and kind words, my friend. I'm glad you can see the vision of what I'm doing with it. And maybe I'll just make a bigger one, eh? -Ben
This knife is amazing! I've been carrying it since the release, and it has taken everything I've thrown at it. If you are on the fence about this knife Buy It! The lander will not let you down.
I got it just this week and it has exceeded expectations. It's a super default-y knife with what feels like basically perfect execution and I don't know of another knife with open source hardware credentials. It's something that I wasn't all that excited about, but now it's done some damage to the "Baby Banter is the best first knife" recommendation I had for anyone who asked me what they should get as their first knife. And yes. A Ben Petersen knife unseated another Ben Petersen knife
This is what happens when a Civivi Elementum and a Benchmade Bugout have a kid and I think I like it.
@@danc2651 Thumbstuds and blade shape reminded me of the bugout
@@danc2651 go to school
Always loved knives. Since I was a kid. But then I came across these lil videos by two nice guys with sunny dispositions just talking about knives. Those videos led me to the edc community and I'm very grateful for that.
I was very impressed with the Lander from the second I took it out of the box. QSP and Ben together is a fantastic combination! Great review.
Totally a missed opportunity to start the video with "WHATTTT IS UPPP GUYS?!" 😂
As always, thanks for the content and your consistency of said content. The lander seems like the perfect "1st EDC knife" for those interested in getting into the hobby. Really like the scale swapping capability as well.
Have a good one boss🤙
I like what Ben is doing and love the idea of easily swappable scales and hardware. The only other company I can think of that makes it so easy to swap scales is TRM, with knives like the Atom, but their knives are at a much higher price point and can be difficult to get.
It's a nice knife. I have one and the Banter and Baby Banter. I'm glad Ben is off to a successful start and will be watching for more product in the future. One thing I have to mention, is thumb studs are not my favorite opening mechanism; they chew up my thumb, but this knife flips like a dream!
Here’s the thing about the Lander, this thing is absolutely genius. Not only is it a great knife for beginners and non-knife people, it’s a great knife to bring new people into the hobby. The design quality, and the price, combined with the customization possibilities make this appealing to more than just knife people. If he translates this same concept into more designs and in more sizes, he’s gonna be the most talked about guy in the community alongside Brian Winters. I’m excited as hell about this.
I want one in a different blade steel though, because I can’t help it 😂 14c28n or 154cm would be much appreciated lol.
Great content! Ben is a genius. I love all of his designs.
How this man got an 11day old comment on a 15minute old video
Edit: A number of people have brought to my attention in the comments that there is a simple explanation for this phenomenon…. Magic
Every channel has "hidden" videos.
They make the video and upload them, but dont allow them to be seen until the time they want. Its so they can upload a batch of videos then get a few days off.
So MC uploaded this video 11 days ago, but only let us see it now.
This is pretty normal for like 90% of channels.
Illuminati
Did* let's be coherent
Hidden until made public. Scheduled release. Cheers ✌️
Out of almost 100 knives I only own 1 knife under 3 inches. It's the Banter and I have not carried it once. I only bought it to support Ben. I would love to support him further but I really don't have use for a tiny blade.
Thanks for posting!! I was waiting for this one!!
Ordered the green Micarta version and really dig it, simple little knife that I am REALLY HAPPY WITH!!!
Love the idea. I’ve bought both versions. Open source scales make it stellar. 🎉
That's such a good idea. Hope they make it bigger like you said. Great video MC
This knife is great i am loving mine. Fall shut action, great little blade.
The Lander concept is awesome 👍
I’ve got this version of the Lander and can’t stop flicking it 🤣. Very well built for EDC. Got the white g10s but haven’t swapped em out yet. I am glad QSP is in on it. Have their Parrot that is surprisingly well built. And affordable AF.
My Storm Trooper Lander will be awesome. If @Metal_Complex giggles in delight about the Lander, that’s a blessing.
Glad to see your review on this. Be interested to see a review on Knafs tool burrito.
I got mine yesterday and can’t put it down. Nothing special but the action is amazing… very snap snappy
Love the Lander! Great little knife and wanted to support the dream.
What a great video! Ben really busted the box open on this cool knife.
MC, need more TKG with pits of rancid human waste, barbed wire & lemon juice ❤
It's nice that you can get new screws if you strip the first ones, but how do you get the stripped ones out?
I know this just launched (landed?) but I would love to see other blade shapes and other steel options for this if it takes off.
Nice little knife. TRM does the same thing with their scales, albeit theirs are not open source. That being said they have a lot of variety on their site. This is a really good idea and I hope other knife makers follow suite. I may have to wait for an upgraded version to pick this up. I like his designs but this doesn't have quite the "cuteness" factor of the stubbier looking Banter. Ben makes bland interesting somehow.
Yea I liked it so much I got 2 of em ! 1 for me and 1 for the wife. “Chroma” scales helped the personalization & overall feel. Definitely still carry the Baby Banter tho as it’s still my fav Ben Peterson model. $60 is hard to beat ether way. 💙🤙🏼
I like this concept better than always trying to find another steel.
I really like this. Pretty complicated way of saying that the Lander got hot swappable scales and the CAD files are open source 🤓🤣 Man now we just have to wait for the We Big Banter to come out in 2 weeks, I can't freaking wait 😁 Keep up the good content MC
Got it but i hope he comes out with a bigger knife. and ya i took apart my elementum and realized i dont know how to put back together since i'm a beginner and i lost parts and civivi ignored me.
Knafs Lander is a game changer in the knife community. The accessories that you can get with it is awesome. Anythimg that Ben touches turns to gold. Excellent review matey. Warm greetings from Australia.
TRM knives has been doing pretty much the same thing for awhile
I understand the blade length because it's similar to the Spyderco Delica. I wish he had a 2.95" version, but I think 3 1/8 might be more popular. I could see this replacing my Rat 2.
When was the last time you has a 3" deep cut? (Boxes and para cord do not care about blade length).
Very impressed with mine
Ohh so ben has worked with civivi and qsp now, i had thought this was civivi too. Thats cool
I have a knife I found in my car a couple days after I did Lyft ride. It’s just a cheap knife but it works good I took it apart and cleaned it sharpened it lubricated it but it has a broken clip stripped G6 screw (go figure). Any advice?
I really hope he does runs in other steels
I enjoy Knafs, enjoy the Banter, so I got this one with some crazy scales! But why can I literally not open it one-handed??? I've never had that problem with a knife. I adjusted the pivot as well and nope. It won't budge. Tips???
Simple, pretty cool!!!
I love the idea, but I’m holding out for a hopefully bigger brother.
The one thing i didn't like about the banter was the jimping on the liner lock so how is the liner lock on the lander
?Is it any better than kabar dozier
For edc
Is there a break-in for this knife? I got mine today but opening it is somewhat of a pain. Definitely not as quick n easy as it looks like in this video. Should I just loosen the T8 screw ever so slightly to make opening easier?
, you can get replacement screws and a pocket clip should you mess them up in anyway.
I like this knife and as usual I completely disagree with your concept of knives needing to be bigger. EDC means everyday carry and not heavy use. The 3 inch, 3 ounce rule is my way of looking at a folding knife.
That being said, I have quite a few knives not terribly unlike the Lander. However, the open source information for the scales which allow for 3D printing is very clever and deserves to be lauded.
I think that Ben has put some fun into pocket knives which I believe was his intent.
They should include extra T6 screws in the box if we are going to be changing around the scales.
All in all, this is innovative and gets my vote.
Not a huge fan of the size and design of this knife but I love everything Ben does for the knife world the wife has a custom REC cerakote baby banter and I want a micarta big banter I have and have given gifts of his knafs posters and will prob get a tool burrito so any knafs content I’m interested
I have two of them already 😅
I like this lil guy
I love it.
The idea is amazing. Shame that it's miniscule, but I know Ben likes them that way
I've seen people comparing this to the Dozier, but I think this is close to the Parrot from QSP. Same materials with completely different execution. Every Lander video I watch convinces me to buy it. I'm deciding between the Baby Banter and the Lander, but I don't know if the forward finger choil is more important than the recessed liners/right to repair features on the lander. Something about the lines of the Lander are just very pleasing to me, compared to the short and chunky baby banter.
Get both. I love the baby banter, I still need to grab a lander
I own the baby banter and the fill size banter and tbh the baby banter is way smaller than I imagined. I have large-xl hands but I enjoy small knives that are easy to carry like the Crkt squid it’s a great cheap edc knife so I thought I would like the baby banter also but it is even smaller than the squid and the blade stalk is way thinner as well. Considering you can get a D2/g10 squid for about $35 seems like a bit of a better offer. The full size banter is awesome though.
Nice knife
Perfect for the mushroom hunting 👍😁
I hope he does another with a "premium" steel
Why.
@@johnj.baranski6553 I prefer steels that aren't prone to rusting in damp environments
I like this. This thing looks way better than those silly pocket jewelry gas station looking knives.
I like it.
The Toyota Carolla of knives.
No one wants a Corolla
@@marcz9482 they are great cars. Boring. Safe.
Bigger one and with 14c or nitro v
It kills me how everyone is acting like the quick swap scales are a brand new invention that has never been done before. TRM has been doing this for years, and someone probably did it before them as well.
Looks just like the Banter. Did Ben Peterson design the Banter also?
yes
@@blakefrancisboggs7526 thank you for confirming that
It just occurred to me that you sound exactly like Robert Downey Jr and now I can’t unhear it.
ben is ben awsome yea for ben
You didn’t talk about how bad those scales screws where!
What is everyone using a pocket knife for that this knife is too small?
Im in the same boat as almost everyone who has flicked my banter.....wish it was full size. Its just too small. Main reason ill pass on the lander as well.
And about an hour after I posted this saw they are releasing an XL version.....lol.
🤣 "he's always been with us"
Nope it's not easy to replace parts because Knafs doesn't ship internationally!
Love the idea. Not for me. Hope he does a bigger one.
If he could figure out how to take off the scales WITHOUT tools THEN we'll REALLY be in business
Kinda like the Hinderer OR the Homefront?
Then, I’d lose the scales… LOL!! 😂 I need my scales on my knife securely, so this is why I like the screws. I like this knife like I like my TRM Atom, appreciating 2 screws on each side.
Personally, I’m not a fan knives that disassemble without tools because they ultimately become loose over time.
Hope it takes off?!? It just landed haha lol
Lol
TRM Neutron, same concept.
I have a lot of knives, and I REALLY wanted to love this knife…but I don’t. This knife does not deploy easily, at all and I don’t know how to fix it. The thumb studs are aggressively coarse and it does not want to open. My WE Banter flies open, and I love that knife. I don’t know if it’s a QSP quality control thing, or design or what. But I am super disappointed. I love the way it looks and I totally wanted to support Ben, but I feel like I wasted my money on this one.
Kinda think I want one…
First and love the vids bro
Low budget copy of the banter. Appealing to no one.
The name and logo is a copy from an Iranian company named knauf iran
Way too freaking small, I will not consider getting a knife under 3".
I thought it would be...bigger.
If you can, make sure Ben sees it:
I've seen a lot of pocket check and general discussion videos where people would prefer banter over this, but every time I look at this knife, it cements itself really well into subconscious as just "a knife". It's really hard to make a legally distinct design that's sooo generic and basic in the best possible meaning of those words possible. Maybe the only possible change you could make to get it even more "just knife" kinda deal is FFG.
So yeah: Banter or Lander? For sure Lander, I like it's proportions and tasteful contouring of the handle. I'd definitely be picking one up if I ever see them pop anywhere in the stores here in Ukraine. What a neat little design, kudos for that!
Update a little further into the video: omg, it's even open source *Patrick Bateman business cards.scene"
