A slick is basically a large chisel that is mostly used to trim large wood joints such as you find in timber framing. You generally would strip bark from a log using a draw knife rather than a slick. A slick's cutting edge is too delicate for bark removal. You should sharpen a slick to a very fine edge, like a regular chisel, and you risk chipping it on knots and such if you use it for removing bark.
