Roland Lannier has been running his own workshop in Thiers since September 2014, after leaving the Perceval forge. His first work "Why so serious" won a talent competition in Thiers in 2014 and was inspired by the aesthetics of the film "Batman: The Dark Knight". In addition to the pocket knife, handmade table knives with similar handle materials are also produced.

Roland LANNIER folding knife Why so serious? G10 white and bamboo
€282.00*
Modern design meets functionality – a gentleman’s knife by Roland Lannier
The inspiration for this exceptional folding knife comes from contemporary furniture design. Roland Lannier set out to reinterpret the concept of elegance and value—without relying on traditional, rare, or environmentally harmful materials.
He chose a modern composite of fiberglass and acrylic resin for the handle scales. Paired with a natural bamboo backspacer, the result is a refined interplay of contrast and harmony—between the synthetic and the organic, modernity and nature.
For the blade, Roland Lannier uses high-quality, edge-retaining 14C28N Sandvik steel. This stainless steel is cryogenically treated and hardened to approximately 60 HRC. The blade is finely hand-sharpened and finished with a matte surface. It locks securely via a precise linerlock mechanism.
With this elegant gentleman’s knife, Roland Lannier wants to inspire people to take a perfectly sharp cutting tool to the restaurant. Because a clean, precise cut—whether through meat, fish, or vegetables—significantly enhances the culinary experience.Blade: 14C18N Nitrogen boosted stainless steel, cryo treatedHardness: HRC 60Scales: G10 with bamboo spacerLength: 26 cm while open, 13 cm foldedheight: 19 mmThickness: 13 mmMounted on beryllium bronze washers, with ceramic detent ball100% made in France
