There is no doubt that the scalpel holder I have is a hobby one (although better than the first one I bought which was made in Pakistan…probably around a campfire). My current one was also made in Pakistan but was at least machine made. The blades are individually wrapped but aren’t sterile which suggests that they aren’t sold to hospitals…

I bought a scalpel years ago on the recommendation of this list. It was the second worst tool I have ever purchased. I retired it and went back to a variety of xacto blades. Maybe I got a poorer quality hobby one?



If you're wondering the worst tool I ever bought was that Micro-Mark blunt detail removing tool.
