i only use scalpels and buy all my blades from evilbay at approx a fiver for 50. i went overbord at one stage and now have 15 different shaped blades. Its surprising however how the right shaped blade just happens to help. At least thats what i told swmbo when she noticed and complained.

Possibly a tad too many. maybe swmbo has a point. John

I used to use xacto , but now prefer swann morton . the best place to get both the blades and handles really cheap is e-bay handles are around £3 and you can get 50 10a blades for about £5 both including p&p they are buy it now so no bidding needed .
