The friend I talked about nearly got fired because he once ruined several big downy brand new winter jackets because he thought he was an expert with an exacto knife.
It’s not that hard to do a clean cut with a butter knife let alone an exacto knife, so what the hell was he doing with it? Was he just plunging it in full force, because I was taught to open a box with a knife by doing a hard angle where if you went horizontal from the edge it’d scrape.
