Withdrawn Milan 230x59 Mild Steel & 135cr3

[OkayMode]

Specs:
- 230 x 59mm
- 5mm spine at handle
- 282g
- Ironwood handle
- Original saya included

Trade value/Price:
- £850

Trades:
- I’m still looking for a KU Milan in the 240-255 range, but could also entertain Nakiri at least 180x56 or taller/longer.

- I’m also interested in other wrought/mild steel/soft iron clad Milan gyuto

Condition and Other Notes:
- Bought earlier this year from the first owner, who bought it directly from Modern Kitchen.

- It had never been sharpened when I bought it, and I have since sharpened it once with a Washita. Otherwise, there’s nothing much to flag in terms of usage beyond the patina.

- There’s a really nice, practical distal taper on this one - it gets plenty thin towards the front end for horizontal cuts and other fine work (it certainly feels thinner than the 1.4mm in Milan’s IG post anyway), but still feels reassuringly stout and ready to work on the board.

- The edge profile on this is more towards the Western chef knife style, it took me a few minutes to adapt after a long time of only using flatter Japanese styles, but I’ve since come to really enjoy it.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to have 0 Milans

Thanks for all the messages and interest so far!

Please forgive me if I don’t reply straight away - I’m going to leave this up for a few days or so to see what comes out of the woodwork

I’m not looking to sell this straight up at the moment, but if you were interested in some of the other stones and knives I currently have listed for sale too (not the other Milan though, nice try ) then we can talk!

Someone should try and buy this and the Brook turner. Such a good combo lol
