The Lander 5 is built to be a first knife: simple, sturdy, and safe for beginners. Designed by Ben Petersen, it’s made for those just starting their knife journey: the scout learning to whittle, the weekend camper, or your Uncle Bob who just can’t help but overuse his tools.

This is not a fidget toy or a heavy-duty workhorse. It’s a dependable, affordable knife designed to teach respect for sharp edges and basic knife care. With a cold-forged steel handle, frame lock, and easy thumb hole deployment, the Lander 5 gives beginners the real feel of a quality pocket knife without breaking the bank.

A knife built for learning, exploring, and probably getting lost in the woods and that’s exactly what it's designed for.
