The Slice® 10568 Ceramic Scalpel (Replaceable Blade) combines the best features of the 10574 scalpel and the 10548 craft knife. Its slim, flat handle (only 4.1 mm thick without its cap) is capable of reaching into tight spaces, and it includes a replaceable 10518 finger-friendly® blade. The 10568 uses the same blades as the Slice Craft Knife: non-magnetic, non-sparking, non-conductive, chemically inert, and rust free. The blades are autoclave-friendly and safe up to 1600 degrees Celsius, while the handle is lightly weighted for balance and stability.
