you are cutting yourself when using the scything stroke it means you're using too much horizontal movement. Remember, horizontal = blood, so try to make the stroke a bit more subtle and you should be able to nail it.

As an aside, I was wondering if you would ever do this. Please Sham, show the world what your idea of the scything stroke is, we are all curious. Some think it's the same as a guillotine cut, some think it's like cutting a tomato, and Utopian thinks we're all wrong! We need closure once and for all!!
