    Fancy Scalpel

    Just finished this one for a local medical student, probably won't see many of these at the local hospital. It is, of course, fully functional and frighteningly sharp.



    The steel is a mix of 1095, 15n20 & W1 about 1/16" thick, 4 1/2" overall with a 1 1/8" cutting edge. The scales are MOP with stainless steel pins.

    Re: Fancy Scalpel

    Sorry to say I think thats horrid.

    Mostly to do with the fact I dont like MoP, but also the blade shape looks to have too much belly for its size. However those are mearly my own thoughts based on cosmetics, I have no doubt it cuts like crazy!

    What I do like is the great contrast you have on the blade, is that the etch, the steel, or a combi of the two factors? Either way it looks awesome and reminds me of funky snow camo in many ways.

    Re: Fancy Scalpel

    Thanks guys. The damascus and the etch did come out nice. I think a "no scale" version would make a nice necker or EDC. I thought this would be a one time deal but, all the nice replies my lead me to making a few more of these medical based terrors. LOL!

    That's lovely. Note though that some bodily fluids, especially vomit, are friendly to neither MoP, nor carbon steel.

    Re: Fancy Scalpel

    That is out of this world pal,
    I love it, for me my image of a Scalpel blade shape is so it took a short time to get used to the idea of a different shaped blade.
    I bet the person receiving this will be exstatic to say the least.
    fantastic craftsmanship.

    Think of the fun you could have dissecting a T Bone steak with that.
