How to not damage leather while skiving

I manually skive my projects as I do not have a machine. I damage the leather in this process. Do you have any suggestions on how to accomplish this without scratching and denting the leather? See attached photo. Thanks

I did the skiving on a granite/marble stone I purchased from Tandy Leather. Also, I got quite a few scratches on the leather making it not ideal for selling. Since posting this, I have been practicing the skive ensuring my tools are sharp and being more gentle. I still managed to get some dents in the leather from the edge of the stone. Is there any way to remove any of these marks/scratches?
