{"title":"Milan Gravier","description":"\u003cp\u003eMilan Gravier has been a blacksmith for more than twelve years and came to the work in a strikingly organic way. After studying philosophy he spent time in agriculture and farming, and it was on the farm that he encountered the forge and recognised in it a craft that could square his ideas about meaningful work with a tangible daily practice. From that point his attention moved steadily toward knifemaking, and he now runs Le Marteau et l'Enclume from Toulouse, in the south of France, where the workshop's name — the hammer and the anvil — signals plainly enough what is valued inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis practice is grounded in traditional Japanese technique, refined over more than a decade into a quiet, considered style of his own. The knives are simple in their materials and unshowy in their decoration, with the craftsmanship doing most of the talking. Geometry is precise and the cutting performance carefully developed, but Milan is consistent in describing his blades primarily as tools, objects whose purpose is to nourish those who use them. Much of what goes into them is locally sourced by Milan himself, which gives the work a strong sense of provenance and reinforces the modest, agricultural roots of the practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat gives a Le Marteau et l'Enclume knife its character is the steady accumulation of small decisions, each one made with care. Milan treats every blade as a milestone in an ongoing journey rather than a finished statement, and that attitude is legible in the work: composed, finely judged, free of theatrical flourish. To handle one is to feel a maker still actively in pursuit of his own standard, which is exactly the kind of disposition Modern Cooking seeks out. They are honest, beautifully resolved knives, and a real pleasure to cook with.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cleaver-185mm-x-69mm-damascus-clad-135cr3","title":"Chinese Cleaver 185mm X 69mm Damascus Clad 135Cr3 Kasumi","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis knife is simply about fun!

For this piece Milan forged the blade from a San Mai billet he constructed out of 135Cr3 clad in wrought iron. The wrought iron was up-cycled from a unused wagon wheel from his property in rural France. The handle is also up-cycled oak originally harvested and used to produce wine barrels. This concept of producing some beautiful from something unwanted or unused is fitting as in cooking it is often the same.

With a 229mm edge length, this Gyuto is built for versatility and precision.

Milan worked the initial geometry on 100#-200# grit flat and convex stones, a skill that he acquired while training with expert sword polisher Damian Kordic. This is an extremely challenging process and requires the blade to be regularly straightened. The process also requires that the blade is forged extremely precisely, or it simply won’t be possible to complete an even polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the initial geometry was complete, the remaining work was done on convex stones from 400# through to 6k and finally polished with a mid-hard uchigumori natural stone and two types of finger stones, one soft made of uchigumori and one hard made of nakayama. The detailed hand-polishing process ensures an impeccable, even finish that enhances both performance and aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilan has included a set of finger stones to help you maintain the knife's beautiful finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is crafted from exquisite bog oak, known for its rich dark color and incredible figure.
