I don't think so billy !! We're just teasing you....we know what you meant....I think you must have had a dull blade when you tried it with a utility knife. It's all different though, like joe said, sometimes you try it and find that it's weathered or wet inside or just tough somehow...those I usually use the end of the knife to get the outer layer off...I keep forgetting to get the carpet blades or whatever you call those crooked blades...for that purpose. And the "chew it" was a play on what goats do....chew everything !
