I think it's more like mind's eye skill rather than handicraft skill. If it's a problem of sharpness, his sword would only bounce sometimes instead.
So, what is with the necklace? i am slightly confused on the wording on page 25. Did he not have the necklace on page 11? Or did he cut the same place as before so he managed to penetrate the skin?
wow i actually feel a bit sad for the beast here... i mean it didnt harm humans or anything its just lived its life and even had a whole kit to do its best to survive against strong foes...
All these ridiculously strong monsters that can kill the OP protagonist in a fight, yet none of them have steamrolled humanity yet or even destroyed the nearby castle.
Guess this is just a glaring plot hole we'll have to ignore
