Picked up the new skiving knife last week. Of all places, a book binding supplier. It’s a George Barnsley & sons. Since it need some edge work, I decided to do all 4 knives. 400 grit and 1000 grit diamond plates. Then a spin on the 6000 grit whetstone and a good finishing strip. Everything is razor sharp now. Thanks for the tips in the “art of the blade” Philip

Bookbinding suppliers will always have good knives. My best knife is my bookbinder's skiving knife, that I've had for years and find very comfortable to use.
