@@DrJKee I actually found a compromise. Mine is on the looser side, just not enough to flick it effortlessly. I just grab it with my thumb and pointer finger with my Higo facing downwards. Then I rapidly slam my higo holding hand on my other hand, exposing the blade. Works every time and I don’t have to worry about it’s blade traveling so loosely that it will close on my fingers if I don’t keep constant tension on the tab.
Unfortunately its good only for sharpening pencil, as for other wood working, the specific way the handle needs to be held limits the flexibility of usage, not to mention the profile of the blade.
A content creator should have reign in what they want to do, but viewer opinions are opinions to consider nonetheless. I too think the music in the vid just doesn’t compliment very well.
