Clutch Lock - the Kizer version of a crossbar with adjustable spring tension

We see this knife as our Apollo 14-- a Moon mission that was a fascinating case study in perseverance. It came a year after Apollo 13 was a near-disaster. But they got back up on the horse and flew to space! Those bosses landed on the Moon, and commander Alan Shepherd hit golf balls off the lunar surface. When he stepped off the Lunar Lander, he said, "It's been a long way, but we're here." Overcome challenges. Crush it. That's the energy of the Lander 3.

The Lander 3 features the open source scales popular with the Lander series. Take the scales off, put on some space kitties, adjust the tension, do whatever you want to make this knife your own.

What makes canvas micarta so special? Well shoot, we'd love to tell you. Micarta 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. Plus, it just looks gooood.
