I recently purchased a Gyuto from this lesser known French smith. In speaking with him, we had quite a good back and forth about knife trends, steels other blacksmiths. He is really a super nice guy and a pleasure to talk to. He has also been a blacksmith for over 10 years and i think he's got some serious skill.
I had originally thought and talked to him about doing a passaround he thought it was a really cool idea. I had planed to get a more "standard" size gyuto for it but thought why not just do one with the knife i just aquired.
I know people think its probably a terrible time for a passaround but I think its actually a great time. A lot of us are at home, moneys tight, and USPS seems to be somewhat keeping their act together and could also use our support.
I was thinking a group of 10-15 people, US only, active well known or senior members. Use the knife for a week, send it to the next person and add some feedback that will be shared with Milan.
Let me know who's interested.

groundrules:
-Use the knife, sharpen it, polish it if that’s your thing, but be a little careful in dense foods. This thing is THIN behind the edge.
-Please insure for $400
-Please make sure the knife is protected in case of longer than expected delivery times (mineral oil, etc)
-Enjoy it, but treat it like your own.
-leave a little review.
List so far
