If you look closely, he's not actually spinning the foot at 100 miles an hour. The spiral lines give the illusion that he's spinning it a lot faster than he is.

or I could be wrong, maybe the Kobuki is comparable to the 40mm herbie ... I have no idea how wide across the face the Kobuki is ... in that case, the 40mm herbies are even cheaper at around $2600

tbh, Bernie, if I had my choice of a Kobuki and a Zenit, I'd go the Zenit any day. Much more range in the flame, they're also rock solid unlike the GTTs, which you can almost dent with a paperclip,...
