* NoodleImplements: In several videos, a hand massager (commonly mistaken for a vibrator by commenters) is used during the construction process; in the Paper Knife video, it's used to shake out cellulose fibres from a mix of rice and paper (until Kiwami decides this is too slow, and uses a [[UpToEleven waterfall]] and aluminium oxide balls to grind the mixture for over a week), while in the Milk Knife video it's used to remove air bubbles from the resin mixture being used to make the knife's handle.

** Taken UpToEleven with his milk knife; the construction of the knife itself, having the dissolved remains of the mixture of milk, acetic acid, and ethanol be cooked down to a solid form seems simple enough, but the construction of the ''pommel'', on the other hand, involved no less than '''''three''''' uses of a vaccuum chamber to create a pommel mold after making ''separate'' molds out of the head of Kiwami's signature cow pitcher, then one from an actual knife's pommel to attach the cow head, and ''then'' finally the rubber pommel out of the previous two molds.
