Three knife makers – a brief introduction
Benjamin Laraud
In 2014, Benjamin Laraud came to Thiers to learn knife making from scratch. After working for GDD and Fontenille Pataud, he founded his brand Laraud Blades in 2023.
His first model, the L'Oegopsyde, is sleek, elegant and fluid like an octopus in motion. This was followed by the MagnaPinna, a slip joint knife with a smooth, rounded shape. Both knives are handmade and bear Benjamin's distinctive signature.
Tim Bernard - Atelier Névé
Tim Bernard founded Atelier Névé in 2015 following a competition organised by the Institut National des métiers d’art at the end of his training. Born in the Hautes-Alpes region (05), he wanted to design a knife with a flowing and lively shape, reminiscent of Alpine rivers …
Tim considers himself very fortunate to have been trained by Manu Laplace, owner of Atelier1515.
The skills he learnt there and the expertise he honed guarantee high-quality products, crafted with passion and care. Since November 2016, Tim Bernard has been working independently as a cutler in Thiers. His first creation was the Névé pocket knife. This was followed shortly afterwards by the GYR model.
Roland Lannier
In 2014, Roland Lannier left the Perceval forge and opened his own workshop in Thiers. His first model, ‘Why so serious’, immediately won a talent award.
This was followed by the Heeled Jack, an elegant slip joint knife. Roland Lannier also produces handmade table knives that are highly regarded in top-class gastronomy – each with distinctive handle materials and a personal touch.
Pierre Thomas - Atelier Ôdae
Pierre Thomas, born in Périgord in 1991, brought his knife-making craft to Thiers. There, he worked at renowned workshops such as Perceval before founding his own studio, “Ôdae,” in 2017.
His work is characterized by the utmost precision, exceptional craftsmanship, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
His outstanding creation, “Le Passager,” is the result of more than six months of intensive development and is an elegant, beautifully designed knife that is hard to put down. He later expanded his collection to include additional pocket knives, such as the Philéas.

Erstklassig in jeder Beziehung. Sehr empfehlenswert!
22 Oct 2026
Wir haben erst 2 (französische Taschen-) Messer hier gekauft, daher in einigen Punkten noch unter "kleinem Vorbehalt" (aber dennoch aus Überzeugung): Sehr gut gestaltete und zu navigierende Website (mit einfachem Bestellvorgang). Große, übersichtliche Auswahl insbesondere an französischen Messern, mit überwiegend guten, ausführlichen Beschreibungen. Faire Preisgestaltung. Sehr schnelle und sehr gut verpackte, sichere Lieferung. Ebenso schnell die umfassende und freundliche Beantwortung von Anfragen. Sehr unterhaltsame, professionelle und informative, das Geschäft begleitende Clips auf YouTube. Aber Achtung: die angebotene Ware birgt aufgrund ihrer Schönheit, Provenienz und Qualität ein hohes "Suchtpotential" ...! Die beiden Käufe der vergangenen Tage waren daher sicherlich nicht unsere letzten. Nochmals besten Dank und Gruß

Ich habe Sonntags online ein Taschenmesser bestellt. Montags wurde es verschickt und Dienstag war es da. Besser geht’s nicht. Dazu Top Qualität und Preise. Und die Auswahl erst. Vorsicht kann zu mehr Käufen animieren. :-) Also für Freunde eines schönen Messers sehr zu empfehlen. Danke an das Brandners-Team.
