Precision Trimming 

Yes John, The Japanese knife is used for a lot of skiving, as well as general cutting, trimming etc. I made a skiving knife out of a piece of old handsaw blade, I show it in one of my other videos here, but I still have to improve the hardening and tempering of it, as the edge easily rolls :( Cheers

Duncan McHarg Thanks Duncan. Yes, I remember that skiving knife you made. Well done!
