Roland LANNIER folding knife Why so serious? G10 white and bamboo
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

Roland LANNIER "Spring Heeled Jack" Concrete
Carbon fiber liners, much lighter than steel. Armed and twice stabilized concrete scales. Roland Lannier wanted to play with this material so he broke the concrete in various places and let appear the metallic net underneath. The acrylic resin then flattened the surface, giving a smooth touch but still allows a perfect reading of the material. It all brings a strange contrast, between sophistication and decadence.Another original feature, we designed a new composite type of spring, assembled like a sandwich around a thin layer of G10 (glass fiber).Without harming the functionality, we achieved to save about a third of the metal weight. Even more, we chose titanium screws on the pivot, lighter than steel.
