Let the tool be the tool

The sharpest part of the blade is also the part that doesn’t get used the most. It’s the most useful part of the tool for what the tool is most useful for.

Rather than forcing the cut, let the blade do its job. Otherwise, you risk ruining what it is you were using the blade for in the first place.

Let the tool be the tool. That’s the best way to get the job done.
