Spring Heeled Jack – Roland Lannier – Cutlery & Tableware http://rolandlannier.com/en Shaking up the table to see if the spirit is there | knives, bistronomy, gastronomy, design, made in France Mon, 17 Mar 2025 12:45:11 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 Carbon fiber http://rolandlannier.com/en/couteaux/carbon-fiber/ Sun, 25 Jun 2017 16:45:26 +0000 http://rolandlannier.com/?post_type=couteaux&p=982 A rather simple system this time : slip joint. We don’t really need a lock if we mostly use a knife for food.

Since carbon fiber is a strong material, we could skip the use of steel liners, making the whole stuff a lot lighter.

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.

Comic Book http://rolandlannier.com/en/couteaux/comic-book/ Sun, 25 Jun 2017 17:04:24 +0000 http://rolandlannier.com/?post_type=couteaux&p=991 A rather simple system this time : slip joint. We don’t really need a lock if we mostly use a knife for food.

Carbon fiber liners, much lighter than steel. Solid comic book scales, soaked in resin. I only use books written by my favorite authors. I believe American comics are never as good as when they’re written by a Brit (more subversive and not so respecful toward the “comic-code”).

Concrete http://rolandlannier.com/en/couteaux/beton/ Tue, 04 Jul 2017 07:59:38 +0000 http://rolandlannier.com/?post_type=couteaux&p=1034 A rather simple system this time : slip joint. We don’t really need a lock if we mostly use a knife for food.

Carbon fiber liners, much lighter than steel. Armed and twice stabilized concrete scales. I wanted to play with this material so I 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.
