In this episode of The Majime Chronicles, I travel to Sebastopol, Northern California, to meet Chef and Pitmaster Kris Austin. I’m here to learn his story, to understand where his inspiration comes from and how his upbringing shaped the pitmaster he’s become. There’s no question Kris knows his craft. But I’m also here for another reason… to see the knife he uses — and to see if I can make him something even better. If you know me by now, you know I rarely make what’s expected. And that’s where things either go very well... or very wrong. Let’s find out. For those who know me, I’m first and foremost a knife maker — YouTube isn’t my main job. But over time, creating content here has become something I truly love doing. What keeps it going is your support whether you own a Majime Knife or simply subscribe. It really means a lot!
