The Scales
Desert Horizon was created by Alan from Mountain Path Designs. If it makes you think of Outlaws, Spurs, or Duels at High Noon, then we've hit our mark. This is for the hardy ones, the ones that thrive in the dry heat of the desert and can appreciate the beauty amid the struggle.
The Knife
Let's do it again! But bigger! Better! Mooooarrr! The Lander 2 is the next iteration of our everyday carry pocket knife with Fast Swap, Open Source scales. It's similar to the Lander 1 with some solid upgrades based on user feedback and ideas. We think of the Lander 2 like Apollo 12. You see, Apollo 11 sent the first humans to the moon. But Apollo 12 was the mission that proved Apollo 11 wasn't a fluke or anomaly. NASA did it smoother the second time, proving consistency and repeatability. That's what the Lander 2 is all about: do it again, but better.
The Lock
Is this just another Crossbar lock on the market with a high end steel? Maybe. Maybe not. Here's why it's different: we're pushing an ideology with this thing. Open Source handle scales. The Right to Repair your own tools. Replacement parts that are easily accessible and affordable on our website. Supporting small makers' aftermarket scales via our website. Teaching knife maintenance. This isn't just about another cool pocket knife on the market. It's about opening up the world to 3D printers, garage CNC-ers, tinkerers, and anyone who wants to dabble in pocket knives. It's a platform that anyone can play on. And that! That is a beautiful thing.
Remember when every vacuum cleaner in the world came with a parts diagram and mail-order form to purchase new parts if they break? That's the idea here. We include a schematic in the package of each knife with labeled part numbers so that if you lose a screw in your carpet (RIP, little guy), you can reorder it, easy peasy.
