I won't swear to this, but the comparable scalpel blade, to a #11 Xacto, is ( used to be ) a #11. This is an excellent blade for cutting out individual decal letters, or other light work, but the blades are considerably more flexible than the Xacto, and much more easily broken than the Xacto. They were, after all designed for cutting tissue, and will open up a finger in a heartbeat, but are not all that good for wood, or plastic cutting. "Micro carving"?, yes, but the usual stuff we do, not so much.
It wouldn't surprise me to find that all the Xacto blade styles, have corresponding numbers to surgical blades, of the same style.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
