nmertes Posted May 11, 2019 Report Posted May 11, 2019 Looking for a source for a specific scalpel blade. I'm not sure where I got the top blade but, it has a different curve from the standard one below it. The bottom 1 has been cut off to fit my graphic arts handle. Anybody have an idea?
PeteJ Posted May 12, 2019 Report Posted May 12, 2019 The bottom one looks like a #12 scalpel blade. Google that and it should be a good start. Several companies look like they make variation labeled as 12a, 12b etc. Google is your best friend for this. A little time and you should be able to find just what you want.
NBUTLER Posted May 12, 2019 Report Posted May 12, 2019 You can try a company called Cincinnati Surgical it looks .like they carry the blades your looking for.

I'm not looking for the bottom blade. I have plenty of those. I'm looking for the top one.

Cincinnati Surgical has the blade I'm looking for but, you have to spend a minimum of $100.00. That many blades would last 3 or 4 lifetimes. They sell 100 blades for $37.00.
nmertes Posted May 12, 2019 Author Report Posted May 12, 2019 The blade is a #3 stitch cutter. I found a Chinese company that sells them for $4.90 each with free shipping. Ordered 10 but they won't be here for a couple weeks.
Mark Aldrich Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 Ebay had these as a search "#3 Stitch Cutter blade" and returns are in the UK but cheaper that $4.90 each...... https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=%233+stitch+cutter+blade&_sacat=0&_sop=15
noelsmith Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Swann Morton in Sheffield UK is a long established maker of surgical scalpel blades and handles, also craft tools. I do not know if they have any distributor in the US, but maybe a UK contact might be able to help if not. Have a look on the Swann Morton website at their ranges.
noelsmith Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 Forgot to mention that Swann Morton make and pack non sterilized scalpel blades for art, craft and hobby users. I think that they are available in tens and hundred packs.
