Scalpel with Blade This is a metal scalpel with a curved blade. It features a flat handle with circular patterns towards the blade for better grip. The handle has engravings: "Made in England" in a rectangle on one side, and "Swann-Morton" in a rectangle with a circled "3" indicating the size on the other. The blade is engraved with "12," indicating the type of blade, and "Paragon England". The scalpel and the blade are detachable. The 12 blade is small, pointed, and crescent-shaped, with the sharpest edge on the inside curve. Signs of wear and tears are visible. It is typically used for making stab-style incisions, short precision cuts, and removing sutures. 1925-1975
