I know that some modelers have mentioned using scalpel blades rather than Exacto type # 11 blades . I say exacto type # 11 , because there are other blades that Exacto ---- I use Excel , they last longer , the very sharp tip of the point does not break the first time it touches anything, they are a bit hard to find at some LHS , of course my experience has been that IF you get your LHS to order and try some Excel, that will be their new "blade of choice" ( I have no dog in this fight--I have no connection with Excel).
All that out of the way , my question is, how does a Scalpel blade hold up and is there any scalpel similer to a # 11 blade ?
My dad had some scalpel blades and handles in a little kit of "small tools" I got after he passed on in '85, but none close to a # 11 so I never used any of them. Any one used them much that can give me some information ?
