Scalpel VS. # 11 blade

[Dave Harris sctchbld]

I am using Scalpel blades frequently. They are very delicate and do not replace any other blade. I use them as a pure add on for e.g. masking tape.
However, ]the none sterile version (not to be used for any medical application)[u][[u]are extreme cheap in large quantities offered in ebay. I would not uses them otherwise.

Hmmm ? Non sterile ? Now that I think about it my dad used to use his "small tool kit" and his scalpel to remove slivers from fingers , mine included. Bet they wern't sterile after riding around in his truck --, good thing no one reported him to the AMA!
