– Why do even the sharpest knives have trouble, initially, when slicing through the skin of a tomato?

Question

Is tomato skin that unslicable?

Answer 1

Sharp knives can easily slice through tomato skin.

Your assumption that your knives or some other knives you seen as being sharp is the issue.

Even softer stainless steel knives when sharpened correctly can slice through tomato skin without applying any downward pressure on the knive. Harder steels can be sharpened and honed even more so.
