interesting that you got blisters.... I have really hard patches of skin on the outside edge of my palms near my little fingers, but the rest of my hands are just rough (comes from playing with engines all day...) Normally the only skin damage I get is on the tops of my feet where they dry out during and extended practise session. Its a good idea though to do loads of cutting to see if your arms get tired. If they do you're cutting wrong!
