How I made a Noodle Knife for a Master Chef!

[@baldegale1]

fantastic video! only suggestion is to lower the music volume during speaking portions, the voices were way quieter in comparison. great filming and b roll otherwise though :)

[@OwenSkarpness]

I had this thought too - had to turn on the captions, honestly, but it wasn't too bad

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

I can't agree more, I TOTALLY messed up on this but I got it down on the second episode, follow up with me on the next one and tell me if a I got it right

[@McFlubberpants]

@@TheMajimeChronicles It's not just that, the audio is also left biased, so it sounds weird. It's like someone is trying to interrupt a conversation you're already having. Often happens when editing on earbuds rather than over ear headphones.

@@TheMajimeChronicles can confirm. the next one is perfect.

that is a big ass chunk of Damasteel... you are a brave man making such a daring piece from such big piece of very expensive steel...

@@TheMajimeChronicles Thank Max. You are too kind. I and would realy enjoy that too. I want to do a trip to the US, but not sure if that will be next year or the year after.

[@handro.percent]

Very few things are more inspiring than a master at his craft making something for a master at her craft. Bravo. Loving the new venture into the vblog side of things.

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

@@handro.percent thank you, really appreciate you going out if your way to say that 🙌🏼

[@nicholashernandez1494]

The amount of confidence to think you could make such a specialized knife on the first try is observed. That being said, you made a wonderful working art piece and the chef happy

A chef's knife is like a sorcerer's wand!! this allows him to release magic! bravo to you for putting your passion into it!

[@marcsenteney3160]

Well done sir! As a smith myself it is awesome to see you challenge yourself and not go for the norm of knife making! I look forward to seeing your other projects in the future!

Type of content I'll pay for. This channel will be huge!

[@chasetoncain]

ah yes more ways to drool over some majime work, this is exactly what i was looking and hoping for

[@HadrianusRexus]

Love the simplistic editing. Engaging and not a mind fk of bravado and jargon. Keep them coming. 🎉

[@fiercetigersoul]

I can't stop watching these. The work that goes into this is inspirational.

[@ian3314]

You randomly came up on my recommendation. Wonderful content. I love the story behind the chefs and their family. I look forward to you making all the different types of knives chefs use. I had no idea this had a specific blade.

[@Rotytza]

You've got it, dude. The charisma, the skills, the words. I've just watched all your videos in one sitting. Waiting patiently for the next one! You've got yourself a new subscriber!

[@Skyjrome]

This video genuinely made me thing that you have been making videos for a long time already on this channel. I am pleasantly surprised that you have essentially barely started it! You my good sir have earned yourself a genuine fan of you videos and a new subscriber. I can't wait to see how this channel will grow and how you will grow with it, and I wish you the best of luck in your channel's journey!!!!

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

Thank you my friend! it definitely was a first time making a "long form" video but it was a ton of fun. I appreciate your support!

[@martinquintana5837]

Another awesome video the smile on the chef's face says it all. Great job. Aloha from Kansas

[@Simplelittlelife]

Nice work! This series you'e doing is absolutely brilliant! So glad you jumped into KZbin. Massive high five from me and a huge thank you! I enjoyed every second of the video.👍

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

okay let me just be honest with you, you're one of the main reasons of what pushed me to start making knives. huge compliment from you thank you!

[@philipdeanavery2052]

Your blades seem to be getting better and better with the more you do. I love the amount of pattern in them. Any wonder that your knives would be worth so much. I can definitely see the $$$ value

[@IgorEngelen1974]

Saw the 2nd video first but don't think the order really matters here. This is way better than the classic knife making vids because you start from a chef doing certain things and then try to improve on that. Hoping for many more of these.

[@OwenSkarpness]

I love this little bit of insight into your process, but I feel like I'm still left wanting more! Would love to see more explanation around your tools and methods, why you grind the handles certain ways, what reasoning you have behind different the shapes, geometries, and materials, etc. That said, this is an amazing first episode and I'm stoked for more to come!

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

Thank you Owen! so when I did a private viewing that was the most common thing of feedback. Next episode I can of self in more and more on specifics without being too vague. Keep the feedback coming this really helps brother

[@blublak]

I agree completely. I loved the video, but I'd like to see more production details and conversation about the technical choices made. I have one of your knives, and I use it all the time. I can't wait to see more of your work!

[@Just_Exhausted]

I just stumbled across your channel and fell down the rabbit hole. You are truly a master & joy to watch! Please keep uploading long form content. I just love it!

This is crazy the quality of production and editing along with the story line is amazing for a first ever episode, I’d love to see more 15min even 20min would fly with how great you’ve done. Amazing work

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

to be honest, this is the first time ive ever made a long video, so I actually didn't know how long the episodes should be as im new to KZbin! Totally love your feedback, thank you

[@jordgroothuis]

@@TheMajimeChronicles Heya, just recently stumbled across your channel and really like your style of editing, chapters and all. You've now reduced the video down to the very core (in my opinion) and 9 minutes. Just know this: We (the people loving this kind of content) would love a little more in depth vids, and would always easily watch 20-30 minute episodes on the regular. Tip: Throw in a super detailed "full build" vid in every now and then, that's about an hour long. Pro tip: List your videos in the category 'educational', the KZbin algorythm will recommend your vids more often to others. Good luck on your journey, I'll tag along 🙂

[@esoxzz_]

I've just looked at all your videos... And it was worth it

[@jasonmichaels6660]

I wish you spent more time on the build and more time with the chef at the end testing and giving their feedback. As a fellow knife maker there is more you can of the process 😊. Great video great work

[@reshad80]

Great video! Been looking forward to it and it definitely delivered! Can’t wait for future episodes. As a knife maker myself I love seeing other people’s approach to different steps in the process. Always a good learning opportunity.

[@monkeking8604]

@@TheMajimeChronicles I watched many knives making channel and videos, and I think you can make your video at least 15 to 30 minutes, so it would not bored casual watcher, but I personally could watch hours long video of knife making. And you can put a little more detail in the process it doesn't need to have any voice over for everything but just the process of making it in itself is really interesting for me. But overall for the first episode it is quite good, not perfect but good. So just keep up and you sure would have one regular viewer in me 👍

[@mansoorshamsi7882]

great videos! A small suggestions, if you mix your VO and music and lower volumes you can get a much better understanding of their balance. You might be either doing this on headphones or a speaker set up without a good stereo image in an untreated room. Good luck! looking forward to more vids :)

[@garrickpahl631]

You’re knives are absolutely magnificent. But I do wonder with the unique handle design whether long use would eventually create hand fatigue. Have you tested the handle designs for commercial use? Honestly curious because it looks beautiful so I’d hope it would feel comfortable.

Gorgeous knife and video, is it just me or is the volume noticeably louder in the left ear only. I switched to another pair of headphones to check and on both pairs of headphones/earbuds the volume is louder on the left. Audio balance issues?

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

no you're absolutely right! so because im a total noob I had no idea how to equalize volume in editing. such a miss on that, but I finally worked that out on the second episode coming up soon

Going to be following this series closely! Love the content and idea, videography isnt bad either. One Tip in some sections the music and background volume were louder than the speech volume making it hard to hear what was being said.

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

I’m glad you told me, I definitely will nail it down on the second episode. Thanks for the encouragement and feedback!

[@kevinkizziah]

Please inset/inlay the decorative pieces into the sheath. I love that you add that piece, but if it's just glued on, it's just something to get knocked off.

Amazing content truly 🔥

[@filipgaier4908]

Hey man, it seems you're just about starting a youtube channel and I've gotten your second video about the sushi knife in my reccomendations first. Watched it and it was extremely high quality, both the content and the video quality. I don't think I noticed this on your second one but in this one the volume of your speaking is quite low in contrast to the music at for example 2:30 (where I'm at rn). Saying this to help, not to flame, I am appalled at the quality what you've put out and I don't think I've ever subbed to a channel with only 2 real videos posted. I'm starting to suspect you might've done this before with maybe another channel or had some help from an already established youtuber xd? Anyway, amazing content!! much love.

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

thank you! the first episode was lacking in audio, im still learning how to film, edit, color grade and everything else. but with your feedback and from others im committing to get better! appreciate you

[@kururugi-san266]

You use mosly sharp edges on the handle. Is it comfortable enough?

[@Birchwood1976]

What's your thoughts on Ultem? I think it would've made a very interesting material for the sheath and handle.

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

I’ve never messed with it but I am reading about it right now 😂🙌🏼

[@justincottingham3969]

Cool looking knife. I’m worried about the handle not wrapping around the trailing edge of the blade though like her old one. Looks like there would be a hot spot on her middle finger where she could wear a blister.

[@Niksow]

I have a question, you look like an amazing knife maker with all the tools and experience. How come you tossed the first blade ? Can’t you straighten a warp? Now let me just add, that it was an amazing video well cut together but yes like others said, more depths to the process!! Anyways thanks for taking your time to give us this🎉❤

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

Alright so great question, yes I could have gone through the cycle of annealing and doing it all over again. And the chance of it warping could have potentially been fixed. So after the second successful attempt I actually figured out that the reason why I had the first warp was because I turned the blade and clamped. In that split second the tang, because it was malleable and the steel was heavy it bent and I want fast enough. So now I took the okay quenches and set them up vertically to never have the issue again. But that simple answer to your question… ya I could have 😅

[@Niksow]

@@TheMajimeChronicles thank you for responding haha! I’ve been using a carbide tip hammer to straighten my blades lately. Works great. Also that second blade is that stainless Damascus ?? Looks amazing

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

Asian knives are often made with carbon steel, for easy of sharpness. Chef would take time for sharpening and rust maintance.

[@gustavopauli4591]

That's an AMAZING knife, but I think by the way she handles the knife the position of the handle could've been more forward I guess ?

[@NeverBetter23]

Video is a great start, i have some thoughts to make the next even better! The interview was great, but using some B-roll and showing things about the knife that is currently in use and what you might do to improve on it would be a great way to show how you intend to design your version. It doesnt need to get technical, a simple breakdown would do. A little more on the process itself in general, it felt like we went from stock material to finished knife pretty swiftly. Doesn't need to be complex or anything, this is a show more about challenge and entertainment value after all and not the process, but it felt a bit fast (in my opinion) Music and voice mixing could be a bit better. The muic overall seems generally louder than your voice, I found it kinda hard to decipher the sound of your voice during sections with music overlayed at times. Overall great! Keep working on this!

[@TheMajimeChronicles]

My dude your insight is GOLD. So being as my first video… definitely trying to figure out tempo. Audio was a fail but after taking some lessons I got it down in the second episode! But I agree entirely, figuring out the pace is important. I think the end goal is to focus more on the chef
