I am using a box cutter and the blade bends while I cut. The cut end up being angled or wavy during the length of the cut. I don’t know if this is a practice issue ( I am a beginner ). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ! My name is Laura, and I live in the Chapel Hill area of NC.( GO Heels! ) Actually, I am not a big basketball fan. I am a beginner at leather working. I wanted to buy designer knockoffs from Taobao, but decided that learning a new skill and making my own bags was probably a better use of my money/ time. I started picking up the craft last summer, but life got in the way for awhile. With my kids at home/ virtual learning for the foreseeable future, working on my leathercrafting skills has become a way to stay sane in crazy times.
