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 :)
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
@@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.
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 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.
you are completely amazing saw the other videos too and the creativity and craftmanship that goes into not only the knives but also the video's are stunning. I hope you keep going and groing so more people can see your talent
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!
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
Nice work! This series you'e doing is absolutely brilliant! So glad you jumped into TH-cam. Massive high five from me and a huge thank you! I enjoyed every second of the video.👍
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.
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
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 TH-cam! Totally love your feedback, thank you
@@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 TH-cam algorythm will recommend your vids more often to others. Good luck on your journey, I'll tag along 🙂
From seeing your latest videos first, and now this. I can realy tell that your editing skills have improved, and liwered the music during speek, as one sugested.
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.
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!!!!
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.
Nah this is 🔥🔥 Have always loved seeing your content but this format is incredible. Loved hearing about Chef Soma’s story and then seeing the knife that will make many people very happy 🍜 Well done! Hooked! Am looking forward to the next one.
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!
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
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!
I really am by your videos and just became a subscriber. I have been collecting pocket knives for some reason for my entire life. I just got back from Japan where I was able to get a really cool little pocket knife at a wonderful knife store. If you ever decide you're going to make a really cool folding pocket knife, let me know because I would love to buy one from you. I would hope to be able to support what you do because I think that you are an excellent craftsman and I am enjoying watching your skills as a video creator. I work as a producer and editor and musician for TV and film and actually a few TH-cam channels, and I really enjoy what you do. Thanks
@@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 👍
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?
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
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.
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.
I feel like the hangle needed to cover more of the blade. she holds it at the very highest point. if their was a catch she would get less calluses using it.
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!
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
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🎉❤
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 😅
@@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
Like, why is this guy not famous ? The first time I watched is vids I thought that he was a rly big name in the knife making industry ; while I still don’t know if that’s true, I think this man deserves way more followers and views that he has right now
good notice on that! The material for the handle is dense, so there's no need to have a longer handle adding more weight. once a 2ton epoxy is set between the tang and slot, it aint going anywhere
good question, it all comes down to edge geometry. the most important thing about any culinary knife is thinness behind the edge. thinning a knife behind the edge takes off more material making it lighter while also creating less resistance in cutting force
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.
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
absolutely not haha, it gets neutralized(completely purged) after. all commercial Damascus or chef knives that have patterns go through thing and neutralizing
Hi,"I’d love to send you our latest bread slicer to try out. If you like it, maybe we could collaborate on a review or a special discount for your viewers."🥰🥰🥰
Too bad that the handle is in a completely wrong position for her. You should have filmed her making noodles and then adjusted the design, instead of just copying the dimensions of the old knife.
Well, looks great but the handle is super short, she's holding it half hand on the metal :/ her first knive's handle is two times longer and it goes behind the curve, pretty sure your isnt that comfortable to hold, sorry to say. Not a hater, just saying what i can see.
your audio mixing is a mess, when doing a voice over, please make it so the music doesn't make your voice difficult to actually listen to at 2X speed, it doesn't cost you anything to ensure your content is consumable a wider variety of persons. just make your voice audio like 5-10% louder.
Bro… 1. Your music is way too loud. What kind of steel? 2. Get a damn hammer! I’ve warped plenty of steel and hammered that junk out. 3. Great design skills

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.
I'd like to see more of the forging
It must be nice already having flat stock on hand to make the blade.
Awesome video and beautiful knife!
fantastic work, but i'm not sure how comfortable that handle will be after extended period of use
as soon as i saw the video title i was like okay ill bite, and thank god that i did. “crazy” is what i’d truly describe it too!

I feel like the hangle needed to cover more of the blade. she holds it at the very highest point. if their was a catch she would get less calluses using it.

What's your thoughts on Ultem? I think it would've made a very interesting material for the sheath and handle.
I’ve never messed with it but I am reading about it right now 😂🙌🏼
Love it 🎉
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🎉❤
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 😅
@@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
@@Niksow that’s damasteel! I have the link in the content. I just recently heard about those hammers and have to give it a try!
A carbide hammer would have taken care of that warp in no time and added just a few minutes of grinding and been good to go
Like, why is this guy not famous ? The first time I watched is vids I thought that he was a rly big name in the knife making industry ; while I still don’t know if that’s true, I think this man deserves way more followers and views that he has right now
Where do you get the steel?
I have just one tiny problem with this knife: why is the tang so short? With how long the part below the tang is you could've easily made it longer.
good notice on that! The material for the handle is dense, so there's no need to have a longer handle adding more weight. once a 2ton epoxy is set between the tang and slot, it aint going anywhere
Great video, but the music is waaaay too loud. I can barely hear the voices when the music swells up
your music is too loud, it covers the voices.
How long is the epoxy handle going to last under that pressor every day? I bet it breaks after 6 months - 1 year.
it's epoxied on the metal
Stainless patternweld? That stock was not cheap.
Would lighter weight be helpful or require more work to push down? I know individual preference
good question, it all comes down to edge geometry. the most important thing about any culinary knife is thinness behind the edge. thinning a knife behind the edge takes off more material making it lighter while also creating less resistance in cutting force
A nice knife for long noodles 😅😂
Expencive noodles
