Bab 1596: 1596. Dull Tools

"Midnight, If you use your claws to cut so close to the beck you will get the feathers covered in blood. That will make them heavier or lighter. I would prefer not to have to wash them. Cut about an inch lower. That will be perfect to help pull the feathers and skin off in one motion later." Gil had been teaching Midnight how to best defeather and deskin the tearing hawks. 

After using his knives, he had found that they were tougher than he had realized. Gil had received new daggers, upgraded his armor, and even his bow at one point. But he had neglected his skinning knife set that he used while hunting, it made him feel foolish since it was one of his main tool sets as an archer.
