Roland Lannier knives are handcrafted in Thiers, with support from local specialists for processes like laser cutting and cryogenic hardening. Originally from Paris, Roland Lannier moved in Thiers and began training at Perceval Knives in 1997. After holding every position at Perceval, he founded his own business in 2014, bringing over sixteen years of experience and a passion for punk rock music and comics.

Lannier's goal is to create an aesthetic that captured the spirit of his generation. Rejecting traditional materials like ivory and exotic woods, he embraces synthetic and recycled options such as concrete, vinyl records, comic books, and Scottish tartan.

Inspired by chefs, winemakers, artisans, and designers who push boundaries, Lannier constantly experiments with new forms and materials, making each knife a unique part of the dining experience.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.
Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.
We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
