well, earlier today, a friend gave me the hide of a deer he shot and so all day today, i was working on scraping it clean. i tried to cut some smaller sections out of it and discovered something. deer hide is a lot stronger than people hide. as i was brutally putting all my strength into slicing through the hide, the knife unfortunately did not penetrate and instead slipped and gently inserted itself a couple milimeters into the skin on my finger. i got the bleeding to stop and cleaned it out good and it wasnt to horrible, but afterwords, i realized the irony of the situation. i couldnt for the life of me, cut through this dang deer hide but then it easily slid through my own skin.
so as some advise to the more fortunate, youre skin is not as strong as a deers. SO BE CAREFUL WITH KNIVES

that is all.
