EP394 | From Steel to Blade, How Chef’s Knives Are Made ( w/ Justin Miller)

from In Love with the Process Podcast

On this episode of In Love with the Process, Mike dives into one of his biggest obsessions outside of filmmaking, cooking.We all hear it, “get a good chef’s knife.” But what does that actually mean? What goes into making one? And why does it completely change the way you cook?Mike sits down with Justin Miller, a self-taught bladesmith and the owner of Running Man Forge, to break down the art and craft of knife making from the ground up.They get into the process of forging steel, what separates a great knife from a bad one, and why your tools in the kitchen are just as important as your ingredients. Justin also shares how he built his business from scratch, how he found the money to start, and how social media helped him connect with customers… until the algorithm changed everything.And because it’s In Love with the Process, the conversation takes some unexpected turns, mythology, UFO sightings, and the strange overlap between craft, obsession, and belief.This episode is a perfect mix of practical knowledge and wild storytelling.If you care about cooking, filmmaking, or the process behind anything made with intention, this one’s for you.► Running Man IG► Mike's IG ► ILWP's IG Music: Betamaxx & Code Elektro——SPONSORS——► FujiFilm 10% off Accessories (https://shopusa.fujifilm-x.com/accessories/) and Merch (https://shopusa.fujifilm-x.com/brand-merch/) Promo code PROCESS10► Puget Systems► Blackmagic Design Inlovewiththeprocess.com Hosted on Acast.
