Interesting story.
It quoted a surgeon saying it was the best wood carving knife as well
as the best scalpel. Just curious, are scalpel blades made of a
different alloy/hardness than ww ones.

Looks like a good possible addition to the LV lineup

Several jobs back, the technicians used scalpel handles instead of
Exacto knives. Interchangable blades in all the familiar Exacto shapes,
plus a few specialized ones availble both for electronics work and
surgury.

We'd occasionally get the "normal curved blade" in packages marked
"sterile" when it was what the supplier had in stock. I used to keep a
few around for when I got splinter.
