I have too many knives and your videos are dangerous because of the temptations they create. But, since I found them I am addictted. They are so beautifully made, as beautiful as the knives themselves. I am slowly working through your past videos and trying to keep my credit cards hidden :-). Thank you for making such lovely videos and introducing us to so many fine examples of the European cutlery world.
You've been sorely missed, Stefan so it's a real treat to see a new video by you. That knife is truly a thing of beauty but if I were ever in a position to buy one, it would have to be a 'safe queen'. I could never bring myself to use it. I hope we'll see some more videos very soon. Regards, Mark.
I'm always glad to see another upload from you Stefan! The knife as you say is a very clean looking, and has a lovely smooth form. There no edges to catch even when it's closed
Beautiful. I've missed your videos and I hope you do more. I understand you must have been busy compiling your book and I'm certain I speak not only for myself: the CZcams knife community has missed you!
Beautiful knife! Love the name of it too. Roland appears to be a knife maker virtuous. Fantastic video Stefan, as always. I always enjoy the food slicing intros.
Wow, Stefan, einfach nur geil! Also, ich mein das Messer, die Verpackung, das Video - und natürlich, ganz allgemein: dass Du wieder back on track bist ;-) Danke und LG, Robert
Vielen Dank, Robert! Ich habe noch sehr viele schöne Messer, die ich präsentieren möchte. Mir fehlt leider oft nur die Zeit, um ein Video in der Qualität zu machen, die ich mir vorstelle.
***** Ja, kann ich mir gut vorstellen - bei Deinen Videos muss ja eine Unmenge an Zeit in die Recherche fließen, von den eigentlichen Videoaufnahmen und Editierarbeiten ganz abgesehen ... aber dafür sind sie dann halt auch immer was Besonderes ;-) LG, Robert
Very interesting knife, and an especially nicely arranged intro sequence. Thank you for staying so current with European knives, and for sharing your information.
What an excellent video! During the intro I could literally smell and taste both the food you were preparing and the drinks you were pouring. A true work of magic!
So glad to see another outstanding review, we have missed you. WOW! What an absolutely beautiful knife, the bamboo tube and silk pouch puts it over the top for me anyway. This one is going on my must have list. Hope to see more from you soon Stefan.
***** I am not sure we can call it a channel, not in the way you are doing it. I just dropped two videos so far and they are no match compared to yours!
Thanks for stopping by, Andrew! I didn't expect you to like this type of knife. Are you tired from seeing all the same titan and G-10 monstrosities? ;-)
Tartan trousers, I believe. Not shirts. UK punks wore tartan trousers, sometimes with bondage straps attached. They were probably first sold in Malcolm Mclaren's & Vivienne Westwood's shop.
Moin, Stefan! Loved the review, love the knife...! Every now and then it seems a certain individual puts out the highest level, both in artistry and craftsmanship, and raises the bar for his successors. Roland Lannier seems to be one of these individuals. Thanks a lot for another brilliant review! Andi
***** Great pleasure - as always! (slightly edited my first comment... Did a few things simultaneously, so I didn't even notice the repetitive crap I had written. Sorry for that!)
Absolutely lovely knife, one of your nicest ones. My Maserin Gourmet is similar in use case and this one is even more gorgeous. Also technically a great review video !
I recently found your youtube cannel, and I love it, very handy reviews of real quality knives, thank you for these videos and for sharing your knowledge of knives, greetings from Galicia, Spain
Moin Stefan, I enjoyed the comeback of the Schmalhaus' video reviews on CZcams. Perfection to the point. Well done. When I saw the first pictures of the Punk, I thought it must be a Perceval. It seems, Perceval raised it's own competitor. No doubt, it is a very well made pocket table knife. But I would prefer a more compact version for my daily cutting tasks beside the table. I'm going to stick to my Le Français, as my table knife of choice, for a while and will use my smaller pocket knives for everything else. But it is worth to keep an eye on Roland's upcoming work. That's for sure. Thank you.
Moin Stefan :-) Wenn man das so hört,das Roland Lannier Perceval verlassen hat & dann mit solch einem Design um die Ecke kommt....tja,da würde ich mal sagen...alles richtig gemacht! Die Linie ist nicht nur fürs Auge schön,auch die Hand dürfte in Liebe schnell verfallen. Das es ein anständiges Schneidwerkzeug ist,das wird auf den ersten Blick gewahr! Eines der schönsten Messer,welches ich 2014/2015 gesehen habe. Und der Name "Why so serious?".....ein herrlicher Streich! Danke fürs vorstellen. Beste Grüße, Stephan
Some of my favorite eats there. One mild criticism...where's the cheese! ;-) I do really like the looks of that knife. That blade looks very versatile for everyday tasks. Another excellent review!
Thank you for this excellent review. I think this knife is absolutely beautiful, and I hope to get my hands on one someday. In the meantime, I'll be watching this video from time to time to whet my appetite for beautiful cutlery.
Hallo Stefan, bei Dir kann man nicht nur immer wieder etwas über gute Messer lernen, sondern auch noch seinen englischen Wortschatz erweitern. Du machst Dir sehr viel Arbeit in der Vorbereitung solcher informativen und ästethischen Videos. LG, benjamin:)
Great review! Good to see a review from you Stefan, as usual, it is worth the wait! The knife is very stylish. Truly handy great to have on one's person for daily use. Likable and good looking, as a tool it hits the mark for me!
Another excellent review Stefan. This is an extremely elegant knife, and I like the tartan Micarta, but the bamboo back spacer looks wrong to me. I will have to look at the other versions... I like this knife :-)
It's great to have you back Stefan. As a Scot living in Scotland it was nice to see the nod in our direction. Any idea when your book will be published in English?
Beautiful and creative and playful knife design. I like it very much. It is very very expensive though when looked at through the eyes of the Canadian Dollar! Sadly it might stay outside the realm of affordability for me. Which as a knife fan, a "Foodie" and a punk...saddens me more than just a little. Thanks for the review!
Hi Stefan, tolles Video mal wieder ! Ich hatte das Messer schon auf dem Schirm, leider ist es mir nur etwas zu teuer... Ich schaue daher mehr in Richtung Actilam T3, und freue mich auf dein Video Grüße Peter
Roland Lannier Thanks for replying! That sounds a lot more sturdy than just a bamboo spacer :) Again, wonderful work and I'm looking forward to more designs by you.
Love your videos man. Interesting knife. You should look up a knife maker named Aaron gough. He has a CZcams channel, his videos show him making all his knives.
This is actually one of the very few knives which are absolutely legal in Germany according to §42a. It is not possible to open it with one hand (even with gloves, like some "especially meticulous " policeman try to do here), at least on my exemplar detent is pretty good. Quality is top notch, real masterpeace.
@@StefanSchmalhaus I suppose it depends on concrete exemplar, due to the fact that this is custom knife, not a mass production ("von der Stange"). Mine has such a strong detent, that even gloves don't help :)
@@StefanSchmalhaus This is also very individual and depends on gloves (material). Some add more grip, others makes things even worse, you're right. Just to make it clear, I'm referring to those, which are used by LEO (Law Enforcement Officer)
I actually designed it with that thing in mind. You can tell the cops it's a 2 hands opening knife but if you train a little, you might be able to open it with one.
Pinki2019 $300 of what dollars? US, Canadian, Australian? - You see, this is the problem with mentioning prices in my reviews. I have viewers from many different countries. And not only prices change over time, exchange rates do as well.

Love the unique handle with the bamboo backspacer. Never seen that before. And of course again a very enjoyable video production.
You still showcase the most beautiful knives of all! And do it in the most cinematic way possible. Bravo!
Welch ein wunderschönes Stück Handarbeit ! Danke fürs zeigen !
What a treat to find a review from you in my email. I very much enjoyed this and love the knife. A most elegant and individual piece. Cheers Stefan.
Thank you, Mark! Yes, it's been a while since my last review. I hope to get into a more regular rhythm of making videos.
I'm always glad to see another upload from you Stefan!
The knife as you say is a very clean looking, and has a lovely smooth form. There no edges to catch even when it's closed
I swear, I almost watch your videos only for the food at the beginning. It makes me miss Europe.
I hope you like the knives as well. ;-)
Missed your videos, Stephan! Thanks for coming back!
Great video as usual - I love your intros...
The knife is gorgeous.
Beautiful. I've missed your videos and I hope you do more. I understand you must have been busy compiling your book and I'm certain I speak not only for myself: the CZcams knife community has missed you!
Hallo Stefan, schön Dich wieder bei der Arbeit zu sehen ;) Danke fürs vorstellen. LG Sepp
Vielen Dank fürs Vorbeischauen, Sepp!
Stefan you know your knives , your food and wine ,i tip of my hat to you .
Thank you!
Klasse Vorstellung und die Geschichte hinter dem Messer ist ja absolute klasse!
+Outdoorheinz Es freut mich, dass Dir das Video gefallen hat.
bestellt vor 4 Wochen bei Roland Lannier direkt und kommt hoffentlich diese Woche an, ick freu mir
Gute Wahl! Viel Spaß mit dem Messer!
Extravagantes Messer, sehr schön Stefan
LG, Markus
Vielen Dank, Markus!
Beautiful knife! Love the name of it too. Roland appears to be a knife maker virtuous. Fantastic video Stefan, as always. I always enjoy the food slicing intros.
Absolutely beautiful knife, with truly clean and appealing lines. Glad to see another review here on the channel!
Wow, Stefan,

Welcome back Stefan, glad to see you posting again !

What an excellent video! During the intro I could literally smell and taste both the food you were preparing and the drinks you were pouring. A true work of magic!
It's all about planning your video shots. No magic involved! ;-)
So glad to see another outstanding review, we have missed you.
WOW! What an absolutely beautiful knife, the bamboo tube and silk pouch puts it over the top for me anyway. This one is going on my must have list.
Hope to see more from you soon Stefan.
Thank you for your very kind words!
Wonderful to see your review come up in my emails. Good to to see you back in action.
Thank you!
Thanks Stefan for the great review ! And thank you guys for the nice comments !
You are very welcome, my friend! I wasn't aware of the fact that you have a CZcams channel.
*****
I am not sure we can call it a channel, not in the way you are doing it. I just dropped two videos so far and they are no match compared to yours!
As usual, a very classy review of a beautiful knife. The food preparation hits the spot and what a wonderful mini snifter of a superb scotch.
Nice knife. Excellent handle materials choices. The added meaning that is included by using the tartan is my favorite element. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for stopping by, Andrew! I didn't expect you to like this type of knife. Are you tired from seeing all the same titan and G-10 monstrosities? ;-)
Tartan trousers, I believe. Not shirts. UK punks wore tartan trousers, sometimes with bondage straps attached. They were probably first sold in Malcolm Mclaren's & Vivienne Westwood's shop.
Your reviews are always a joy to watch--very artfully done.
Beautiful piece of art! Love it
I've been looking around for a while for a knife that really catches my eye. Something that makes me want it. This is that knife. Remarkable piece
Moin, Stefan!

I missed your videos a lot, cheers :)
Why do I suddenly feel so hungry? A tasty knife too, especially for a Scot who grew up in the 70’s!
Moin Stefan :-)

Hallo Stephan! Vielen Dank! Für Perceval war der Weggang von Roland ein herber Verlust.
Jetzt mal abgesehen von dem Schinken,
das Messer ist auch klasse,danke fürs Zeigen,
LG Christoph
Vielen Dank fürs Vorbeischauen, Christoph!
Some of my favorite eats there. One mild criticism...where's the cheese! ;-)

Roland is such a great knife maker. Thanks for the review !
Every time I watch this I'm like cut the fat away! Don't eat it!
made me soooo hungry. great great video. great music. love the whole philosophy

Another excellent review Stefan. This is an extremely elegant knife, and I like the tartan Micarta, but the bamboo back spacer looks wrong to me. I will have to look at the other versions... I like this knife :-)
I looked it up, and there is also SKA version available! I love SKA!
YEAH!!!...endlich gehts weiter :D
Great review!
You are a man of wit, charm and intelligence.
Love your reviews.
+Les Sharpe Thank you!
It's great to have you back Stefan. As a Scot living in Scotland it was nice to see the nod in our direction.
Any idea when your book will be published in English?
My book is supposed to be translated this year. My guess is that the English version will be released by mid 2016.
That's great, I've been looking forward to it. Embarrassingly, my grasp of German is very poor.
Great video and info as usual.
Beautiful and creative and playful knife design. I like it very much. It is very very expensive though when looked at through the eyes of the Canadian Dollar! Sadly it might stay outside the realm of affordability for me. Which as a knife fan, a "Foodie" and a punk...saddens me more than just a little.
Thanks for the review!
Good video again !
When you poured the scotch, I felt as though I was resting in the lap of a massively obese Scotsman.
But seriously, great vid and welcome back.
Very nice knife. Good review!
Hi Stefan,
tolles Video mal wieder ! Ich hatte das Messer schon auf dem Schirm, leider ist es mir nur etwas zu teuer...
Ich schaue daher mehr in Richtung Actilam T3, und freue mich auf dein Video Grüße Peter
Hallo Peter! Wollte ich zum Actilam T3 ein Video machen? Echt? ;-)
elegant knife that is perfectly worth it
five star vid
Dangit you really need to make some food videos. I'm dying to know more about how you eat that sausage. Looks delicious.
Beautiful knife, I am wondering if the bamboo spacer will stand the test of time but I assume it is stabilized. Good to see a review again!
It is not exactly a spacer, more likely a piece covering the liners and the steel spacer.
Roland Lannier
Thanks for replying! That sounds a lot more sturdy than just a bamboo spacer :) Again, wonderful work and I'm looking forward to more designs by you.
Dronston
Thanks!
Amazing knife
I want it
Doing significant damage to that cutting board😃
Love your videos man. Interesting knife. You should look up a knife maker named Aaron gough. He has a CZcams channel, his videos show him making all his knives.
That looks like a nice scotch, and I'm not familiar with it. Much like the knife. I enjoyed the review.

Well, it takes some weird finger acrobatics, but you can open the knife with one hand if you really want to.
@@StefanSchmalhaus I suppose it depends on concrete exemplar, due to the fact that this is custom knife, not a mass production ("von der Stange"). Mine has such a strong detent, that even gloves don't help :)

Another great review. How was that single malt?
Could it cut the Ginzu? I think not.
This guy buys a lot of sausage and cheese.
Not really. Please note that I only make a few videos per year. ;-)
Pardon me Stefan, but an estimation of what we would be expected to pay for this knife would be much appreciated. How much did your "Punk" model cost?
lifelessperson1993 As of May 2015, the price is 300 EUR.
Can you carry these in Germany? I wanted to bring my pocket knife with me but didn't look up laws before hand.
You could of filled the glass a bit
A proper review should give the price.
I searched around. It appears it is about $300.
As of March 2015, the knife costs 300 EUR here in Germany. I usually don't mention prices in my reviews because they change over time.
Pinki2019 $300 of what dollars? US, Canadian, Australian? - You see, this is the problem with mentioning prices in my reviews. I have viewers from many different countries. And not only prices change over time, exchange rates do as well.
***** Well stated and great interview. Thanks
