Scalpels
Cut, trim, and puncture thin materials such as paper, plastic, and fabric. Combine a blade with a compatible handle (sold separately).
Stainless steel blades are more corrosion resistant than steel blades and can be sterilized.
#10 blades are the most commonly used scalpel blades for simple, straight cuts.
#11 blades have an extra-fine tip similar to X-ACTO blades. Use them for precise cuts around intricate shapes or to make small punctures.
#12 blades are curved so rope, twine, and cord won't slip while you cut them.
#15 blades have a short cutting edge for making small, curved cuts.
#20 blades and higher are extra large, so long cuts take less time.
#4L handles are extra long, allowing you to make deep cuts.

Disposable Scalpels
Slice and pierce fabric, paper, and other thin materials, then discard these scalpels when you’re done. All have a stainless steel blade that resists corrosion and can be sterilized.
Style A scalpels are made from a single piece of stainless steel. They’re stronger than scalpels with a plastic handle, so you can cut with more force.
Style C scalpels have a short, wide handle that you can grip with your thumb and index finger for a secure hold.
#10 blades are the most common scalpel blades. Use them for simple, straight cuts.
#11 blades have an extra-fine tip that’s similar to X-ACTO blades. Use them for precise cuts around intricate shapes or to make small punctures.
#12 blades are curved so rope, twine, and cord won't slip while you cut them.
#15 blades have a short cutting edge for making small, curved cuts.
#21 blades are the same shape as #10 blades, but they’re larger, so you can make long cuts more quickly.
