scalpel blades

I seem to have taken a pretty long walk away from architecture recently, so I thought I’d do something to contribute to the profession again.

I have a curious obsession with scalpel blades, there are so many types, and the Swann Morton website is so bad, that I really didn’t know what they all looked like.

They are handy for good model making, but people only ever seem to use 6, 10 and 10A. I’m pretty sure that there could be a good use for the 9, the 12D the 16 and the 40 in any studio!! (Just think about how beautiful a scalpel rack would be.)

This is just the few that fit into a number 3 handle. There are loads more that are specific to very fine dental work etc. that look really handy, but this is a start!

Just to allay any fears, I am not feeling suicidal and wanting to find the right tool to top myself in the most elegant way (probably a 40)
