    razor blades and a good set of side cutters is what I use. I have looked locally and found no where that sells a surgical grade of plyers etc. IE stainless so they wont rust as much as steel ones

    Sent ya a PM Cameron. Keep in mind that the "scalpel" is actually 2 pieces, the blade holder and the blade. ( I knew my days as a vet tech would come in handy some time);) The blade holder is stainless, but the blades arent so the blades will rust. IF you get one there is a little trick in getting the blade seated in the blade holder. Please be careful, these are wicked sharp and will cut you to the bone in an instant. I use one, but honestly an exacto knife or one of those utility knives that the blade snaps off every 1/4inch works just as good, and a little rust never hurt anything;)

    There are also stainless bone cutters available.. but Arts sidecutters work just fine. oops.. did I just say that??:wave:hi sweetness;)

    Wanted the scalpel since if I can't make anything selling frags, I can cut out a kidney, liver, or something......lol

    Just make sure you frag your liver..you do need to keep a piece of it. And remember to pack them in lots of ice..ships better that way.

    BC Shaver & Hobbies has fine cutting tools for model building. Maybe check them out. Don't know about stainless though. My $0.02.
