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.
