Steak Knives – 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, 04 Aug 2025 12:22:01 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 Retaliation http://rolandlannier.com/en/couteaux/retaliation/ Sat, 17 May 2025 07:03:00 +0000 https://rolandlannier.com/?post_type=couteaux&p=3330 This style is a tribute to the young collectives fighting in our streets to push back the neo-fascist militias.

We see how the dominant media have chosen to de-demonize the far right and hammer out propaganda, claiming that hate and violence now come from the left.
Antifa are doing ungrateful but essential work, risking their own safety to defend a shared ground for all of us, against those who seek only to divide and exclude. In doing so, they face harsh repression from the police, while the cops let the Nazis roam free.

Silenced or defamed, they keep fighting, for all of us. And they’re gaining ground in many cities, where fascists are falling back, no longer free to commit their crimes.
We can be proud of our Antifa.

This collection exists to honor their courage, show our solidarity, and celebrate the beauty of the red and black symbols.
More than half of the proceeds will be donated to allied organizations.

Eat the rich! http://rolandlannier.com/en/couteaux/eat-the-rich-red/ Mon, 19 May 2025 15:55:43 +0000 https://rolandlannier.com/?post_type=couteaux&p=3344 For as long as I’ve been doing this job, I’ve heard that excellence necessarily comes at a price and that we’re lucky to have rich people around, because only the wealthy can afford our creations, thus allowing our traditions to live on.

We hear the same old tune about gastronomy, fine wines, luxury fashion, and cars… “We should never question the bourgeoisie, because without it, humanity would lose its most precious know-how”.

As time went by, I began to feel more and more like a pet of the system. I’m paraded around and praised, yet what my hands produce only pleases an elite, that clings more desperately every day to its privileges, because its social standing is only as high as, by contrast, the majority is kept down.

Now, as the wealth gap deepens, it’s clear this is getting us nowhere.

So it’s time for me to use my craft for people like me and offer what I do best to those who never get a piece of the pie.

For this product, we worked hard to find a shape that would fit our tools perfectly, require fewer steps, and simplify the entire process. We chose basic materials, strong and easy to work with. The same blade as in all our other knives, just slightly thinner, using less steel. A pure, reliable assembly.

The quality is identical to our other products, but these subtle adjustments have stripped the price to the bone, just enough to cover our costs and live to see another day. It’s as far as we could go, for something that’s built to last a lifetime.

The same goes for everything else: no unnecessary packaging, no price scaling, no middlemen. This knife will only be available here on the website or by reaching out to us directly. One price for all: 25€ apiece. We will only sell them to private customers and human-sized restaurants.

Please let us know which color you would like to have when you place your order.

There’s also a nice mirror-polished bever near the tip, because it’s pretty.

Punk http://rolandlannier.com/en/couteaux/punk-2/ Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:55:59 +0000 http://rolandlannier.com/?post_type=couteaux&p=386 A micarta is a fabric/resin composite. It is usually made of regular linen or cotton with plain colors. I decided to have some exclusively made by using genuine scottish Tartan, as a tribute to the punk culture. This one will definitely bring some spice on the table.

This one uses a lighter pattern, rather in a Ska way, but still rockin’. Imagine it in a raw cardboard table display, with some plants around…

Light² – Titanium plexiglas http://rolandlannier.com/en/couteaux/light%c2%b2-titane-plexi/ Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:12:03 +0000 http://rolandlannier.com/?post_type=couteaux&p=395 Using a different mounting system, this one gets its rigidity from the titanium scales on the flanks. This allows to place a softer material such as plexiglas in the center and play with the transparency. Although this knife is mostly made out of metal, it is surprisingly light, thanks to the titanium.
