the steel of this knife is so bad， no more than 3 sliding on testing chrome leather scrap， the blade will be rolled up， i just do not understand why blanchard use such unsustainable steel for knife， they call this 1005 paring knife is most thickness of steel among other pairing knifes. Useless. At beginning i thought it is because of this knife not properly heat treated but today i received 2nd one, same problem. Who can explain this.

Love it very much, holding it makes me feel more closer to be pro.

I built up this mini size tools rack to hang all my sharp tools and hide them in my closet to avoid my babies who are about to crawl and search this new world. It is hard to have this hobby at home with babies around.

i tried to skiv sheep hide of 1.3mm thickness to 0.5mm by using my bell skiving machine. but it did not work no matter how i tuned machine. the hide went through feedroller, the thickness was still same, machine can only skiv slightly. same setup of machine, i can easily skiv goat hide for 0.5mm thickness. it is because sheep skin is too soft and stretchy. anyone has same issue? how could i solve this problem.
