Roland Lannier, "Just a little serious"

[@panzerfaust5119]

you are killing my bank account sir.I blame you for having such irresistible looking blades that I must get my hands on.no doubt some of the sweetest blades I've seen and I've seen more than many.Thank you sir.

[@anoldgupti7979]

Lovely knife...and what an idea! It immediately takes one back 50 years and makes one feel nostalgic for the good old days. Thanks for introducing this! Your reviews as always are top class! I am waiting eagerly for the English version of Gentleman-Taschenmesser. Thank you sir!

[@texdad91]

Very cool knife…thx Stefan!

[@gregwillhite]

Very nice knife. Excellent, well crafted videos on this channel.

[@218cblue]

Very cool knife Stephan. And another impeccable video!

[@kilowatt3618]

A most beautiful, unique and elegant knife. Thanks for the video Stefan.

[@biggles1024]

It is fantastic to see a new video from you, Stefan. I hope there are more to come. :)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you! I hope so, too.

[@jtb_5]

I've been waiting for you to make this video! It was worth the wait. I've been deliberating on whether I would prefer the "Just a Little Serious" or the "Why So Serious" for some time now. I'd get both if I could justify it on my budget (not to mention one of the Le Thiers from Perceval). The lines on Roland's knives are so perfect; truly works of art. Not only that, but they appear to also be high quality users! Thanks for showing them in such an enjoyable and informative way.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you for your very kind words!

[@CedricAda]

Wonderful vid Stephan. You can see the Perceval all over that.

[@rolandlannier9492]

Actually it's the other way around, I was the designer at Perceval from 2008 to 2014 ;-)

[@CedricAda]

+Roland Lannier - Ah yes, your designs are definitely the flagship of the company! Whichever way around, gorgeous knivesn

[@Lellobeetle]

Very cool with the vinyl handle

[@slawekord]

Your photos and videos are real inspiration for knife lovers. You giving us great pleasure. I wish you all the best, and don't stop. Greatings from Poland.

[@1crimm]

[@TimBlankJ]

Thats one of the best things I have ever seen!

[@terri6342]

Such a good knife, Stephan!

[@stephan123321]

Moin Stefan, wie sagt man heutzutage so schön....."abgeliefert". Eine gewohnt tolle,wie kurzweilige Vorstellung. Die Modelle von Roland sind aufregend in ihrer Gestaltung,dem kann man sich wahrlich schwer entziehen. Für mich nach wie vor,neben der Auswahl an Griffmaterialien & der gesamten Linie,sind die versteckten Schrauben,welche die Griffschalen fixieren das Highlight.....großes Kino! Hau rein & beste Grüße, Stephan

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Vielen Dank, Stephan! Ja, Rolands Messer sind schon eine Klasse für sich.

[@Bladereviews]

Stefan, Cool knife and excellent presentation! How neat to see it made out of vinyl records and a fret board - different! -Dan

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Hi Dan! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, Roland's knives are pretty special.

[@AussieMark909]

What a great material for handle scales! Nice to see a review from you again Stefan. Best wishes, Mark.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Hi Mark! I hope you're well. Thanks for stopping by!

[@korling99]

I like it a lot - I'm a big fan of yours and mrdagon's opinions and videos

[@Grummash]

A very elegant and innovative design. I like the new funkier elements in your video too :-)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you, Jim! I like to experiment with new ways of doing things.

[@reioctane5005]

it's always a soothing feeling when i watch ur video. i don't know why. beautiful knife tho,

[@jonnyd8603]

Great video sir, any plans to review any other Moki knives?

[@zednotzee7]

I like that, a very stylish knife indeed !

[@stoneblue1795]

The knife snobbery group is way more fun than the EDC/doomsday crowd. I like it. "Prepper" should mean "which fine knife are you taking to dinner tonight", and less about killin zombies.

[@rjofur]

JP Stone Agree. The modern techno tactical knife is so brutally purposeful, I run the other direction. As one perhaps should when faced with one.

[@blackforestghost1]

Excellente Vorstellung eines traumhaften Designs, Stefan! Hut ab! Dieses Messer ist eine Sinfonie - eine schlichte Schönheit in unwiderstehlichem Kleid! Danke für`s Zeigen! Gruß Chris

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Vielen Dank für deine anerkennenden Worte, Chris!

[@bigneebsproductions1987]

please make a collection video!

[@bonesjones1658]

Can this be opened with the jimped area like a front flipper?

[@robertvalery9313]

Hello! I'm going to the restaurant with my own knife too. It is "Le Cevenol". But for my brother's birthday i want to give him a nice one. Maybe this one maybe "Le Français". Thank you for this video. (pardon pour mon anglais, désolé je suis français ☺, mais je comprends lorsque vous parlez)

[@esrahansenoutdoorsandselfr563]

great video really enjoy your stuff i have got into knives recently and also have a youtube channle i really enjoy your style thanks for the great content

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you for the compliment!

[@stevehanner3297]

Certainly a "note worthy" knife. Well put together and some clever packaging!

[@sae1095hc]

I often take my own eatin' knife to restaurants, usually it's an Opinel No. 9. I don't go to many fancy restaurants, so don't need a really elegant knife like this one.

[@rolandlannier9492]

Thanks Stefan for the cool review! I am happy I encouraged you to sneak knives into restaurants. Follow me to the next level: bring them to the senate or a ministry ^^

[@romeomarley456]

sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me.

[@jaggernolan4310]

@Romeo Marley Instablaster :)

[@romeomarley456]

@Jagger Nolan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@romeomarley456]

@Jagger Nolan it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@jaggernolan4310]

@Romeo Marley Glad I could help xD

[@TheFlyingotto]

Stefan, have you noticed the tip being exposed slightly to catch a finger while in the pocket?

[@rolandlannier9492]

Not supposed to happen. Do you have a knife with this issue? If so, it might just be some dust near the stop pin, just blow hard near the pivot, it should fix it in no time.

[@stoneblue1795]

Are we still talking about Jenna Jameson now?

[@morayjames92]

RC68? Did you mean to say RC58?

[@javiersaturno9689]

thumbs up

[@todaysgrailtomorrowsbeater]

380 Euro un-shipped seems like hysterically too much for a carbon fiber version of these. "Just a Little Pricey" should be the name of this knife. For 380 Euro I can buy some thoroughly incredible knives that look and feel better, made of comprehensively superior materials, and that can be used in a greater number of scenarios. Lannier has a growing beast with which to contend, and it isn't social norms and rules; it's the knife market as a whole.

[@rolandlannier9492]

Please feel free to buy another knife! I am not holding a gun to your face ;-) The knife costs what the material costs + how much time it takes to make it. If you think I could get carbon fiber cheaper, please tell me. If you think I could make the knives faster, please teach me. I you are comparing my knives with others made by robots, I am sorry man but I am not changing my processes...

[@todaysgrailtomorrowsbeater]

First off, I'd like to say congratulations on making a beautiful knife. I understand that this is the cost for having a beautifully made custom knife with these materials. Having said that, the price bracket makes this a niche knife that a knife collector of my budget can't afford.

[@rolandlannier9492]

Thanks! I always appreciate a compliment. Nonetheless, I'll just say this because you used strong words in your first comment and I feel like I need to explain my opinion and my reality : I understand what you are saying, sometimes I make knives I cannot afford myself. It doesn't mean they don't deserve to exist or should be sold under their value. Should I place a limit over that I can create so it would always fit in a defined budget? There are many things of beauty way over my budget, but I am not mad at the people who made them for not making them reachable to me. I have only two solutions: get a better situation so I can afford it or make my peace with the fact I will only get to watch them, not own them.

[@todaysgrailtomorrowsbeater]

You misunderstand me. I am speaking of your designs in the context of the market as a whole, and not in the context of any particular individual's ability to afford them. It is an argument for value rather than affordability. While I do see your designs as beautiful, as a niche product I can't justify spending the amount of money requested for what I ultimately perceive as a lack of true value. That's based on subjective assessments of what value is to each particular individual. I appreciate your attention to detail and workmanship, but for the same price one can acquire some high-end modern folding knives or gentleman's folders. A CRK Damascus Mnandi comes to mind. For double or triple the price, one can buy some very high-end, premium-material semi-custom knives from prominent custom knife makers, like Mr.Shirogorov. While I do appreciate the philosophical aspect of budget management, there is also a very real and practical way in which us knife-lovers like to spend our money.

[@rolandlannier9492]

Tha Mnandi and Mr.Shirogorov's knife exist, and the fact that my knife exists too doesn't harm them in any way. If you think they are better, more beautiful and/or a better investment, go ahead and buy them. I really don't want anyone to buy my knife and be disappointed afterwards. And as for the market, the least I can say is I don't give a flying fuck. I make the knives the way I imagine them with the tools I have. The prices are calculated in a very transparent way and I never pushed anyone to buy one, nor I will try to persuade you they are the best deal in the world. The other knife makers can work however they please and you can buy whatever knife you want. Plenty of fishes in the sea...

[@pigsydney]

I really like this knife,it is very French.

[@jamesherrington5606]

Oh shoot $200 US on eBay right now.

Aha. Leider hast du vergessen, mir zu sagen, was "Männermesser" sind. ;-)
