Robert Porter
Senior Master Sergeant
I have some! The are great! Much sharper than the older ones, however nothing beats a scalpel for sharp. I just can't find a handle to fit the blades I have. Scalpels are bloody confusing in what works with what.

The supplier I have found, the only one, sells blades as for LG, SM, MED handles not fitment numbers. So I now have 200 blades of the types that I wanted that do not fit any of the 3 types of handles I have. Their handles use an entirely different numbering scheme that does not match the one for their blades so I gave up.Robert, not sure wherein your scalpel confusion lies. Blades are of various shapes and sizes all numbered just like X-acto blades and most of them are very similiar though the X-actos tend to be thicker and will take more pressure.
Scalpel handles also come in a wide variety of shapes and styles. It is important to note that NOT all blades fit all handles so make sure the blade style you want fits the handle. Blades #9 through #17 fit handle #3 while #18 through #26 are for handle #4. GENERALLY handles #3 and #4 are the most useful for modeling and personally I prefer the #4 handle in the comfort style with a #36 blade. I also have several style X-acto handles with several blade styles though #11 seems to be the most useful the majority of the time
