This handcrafted, small-batch paring knife is a crisp, modern interpretation of the classic French-style parer—an indispensable tool for thoughtful, everyday cooking. Made in artist Roland Lannier’s hometown of Thiers—France’s historic heart of knifemaking for more than 500 years—each piece is shaped by hand as a one-of-a-kind expression of precision and contemporary utility. For this build, Roland sculpts the handle from striking white G10, a material chosen for its durability, balance, and clean, architectural presence. The bright, minimalist aesthetic highlights the knife’s refined form while offering excellent grip and control in a compact, ergonomic profile. Beneath the hand, a gently curved 85mm / 3.35” edge excels at detail-focused, above-the-board work—from peeling, coring, and deseeding to citrus segmenting, shrimp deveining, and delicate scoring tasks. Forged from high-performance 14C28N stainless steel and finished with flush stainless steel and copper pins, this paring knife is built to be tough, low-maintenance, and endlessly reliable. Elegant yet unapologetically functional, it’s a small knife defined by clarity of purpose—designed to make even the simplest kitchen moments feel considered and complete.
