If you’re just starting out and you’ve never used a skim blade before I would seriously suggest you get a smaller blade or at least get the handle with the larger blades. It is so unbelievably well-built in the bad thing is I’m saying that and it’s too big of a skim blade for what I needed it for. Off but again quality the build the way it was shipped the package it was in it was all top-of-the-line you’re not gonna see a difference in this one and one is the level five blades but again if it’s a small project go with a smaller blade.
