I believe in skill. Skill is an extension of knowledge. To have a skill you need to know how to achieve a certain goal. You also have to train your body to complete the tasks needed for achieving that goal. Once your mind and body are in harmony when you work to achieve that goal, you have a skill. When making a knife blade you might know where to strike with the hammer, but your muscles and nervous system might not be able to deliver the strike with the precision needed. In this case you don't have the skill to make knives. Practice cannot make you perfect, but it can make you pretty darn good.
