Traded Milan Totsumen 226x54 ss. clad ApexUltra Gyuto

[Luminaire]

Wanted to post this and see if I can get any interesting trades-
First the knife- won raffle and bought from milan directly, post is here: Instagram
Used lightly at home ~10x. Never sharpened (never needed to be)
Overall it's really an amazing knife. My preferences have shifted heavier and thicker, so this barely gets any use anymore. Surprisingly the food release is pretty decent, definitely better than expected for something so thin. The tip feels a bit fragile (it is .25mm thick) but nothing too crazy, the blade is also a bit stiffer than other blades of similar thinness so Milan definitely did something nice with the cladding and/or HT.

It's 191g, spine measurements are
226mm x 54mm
2.9mm out the handle
1.9mm around the middle
.25mm 1cm from tip

Trade value of $750. Will happily add or receive $ to make up any difference in values. Currently only looking for trades...if I do decide to sell, I'll make a new post, so no need to message now if you're interested in buying.
Looking for (in similar condition):
mainly a Shi.Han- something 225-235 x 53-57 pretty open to steel but his A2 seems nice
maybe an 240 FM in Blue1 or 2
longshot but a yanick or a thicker/heavier milan
Also will consider anything else interesting in similar dimensions

Thanks

Is the cladding hitting the edge on the left side, middle or did that area just not patina in the same way? Hard to tell in the photo.

Didn't patina the same & I take amazingly bad photos. Adding 2 better ones to main post
