The blades are autoclave-friendly and safe up to 1600 degrees Celsius, while the handle is lightly weighted for balance and stability. ## Features - Blade included: straight edge, rounded tip (10518) - Handle lightly weighted, balanced for stability - Compatible blades: 10518, 10519, 10520, 10532, 10534, 10535, 10536, 10537 - Finger-friendly edge stays sharp 11x longer - Fewer blade changes = fewer injuries ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B077G5NKWP | | Best Sellers Rank | #40,854 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #54 in Medical Scalpel Blades | | Blade Material | Ceramic | | Brand Name | SLICE | | Colour | Blade Automatically Retracts | | Country of Publication | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (438) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00895142105689 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | Blade | | Item Type Name | Cermaic Cutter | | Item Weight | 9 g | | Manufacturer | Slice, Slice, Inc. 38 N.

Any suggestions? Need a pointed blade** A: ceramic blades with points tend to chip off the point quite easily. Ceramic kitchen knives are cheaper. Some stainless steel blades (scalpels) may not be magnetic (some types of stainless steel are magnetic, some are not). The X-acto stainless steel blades are magnetic. **Q: Can this blade be used for making plant cuttings for cloning?** A: The Slice Scalpel has a cutting depth of 17mm so should cut through plants easily! However, we have never had someone try this! If you do try this out we would love to hear how it goes! // TEAM SLICE // San Jose, California **Q: Could this be used to cut bread dough? I am looking for an alternative to a lame (used for sourdough scoring), and this seems like a viable option.** A: Six String Habit : We haven't yet tested this tool yet for that application. It is possible that it may pull rather than cut, but the pointed tip blade would likely work better than the rounded tip // TEAM SLICE // San Jose, California **Q: Would this cut small solid plastic tubes? Or would another of you tools work better on plastic?** A: The cutting depth for the Slice #10568 ceramic scalpel is 17mm so would cut through the plastic, however I would suggest using our #10568 craft knife as the blade is more secure! // TEAM SLICE // San Jose, California ## Frequently Bought Together - Slice Scalpel, 1 Pack, Black with Orange - Slice Pointed Ceramic Craft Knife Replacement Blades, Pkg of 4 - Slice 10589 Craft Knife, Finger-Friendly Edge, Safer Choice, Never Rusts, Lasts 11x Longer Than Metal, Precision Cutting, Never-Lost Safety Cap --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/644598747-scalpel-1-pack-blade-automatically-retracts](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/644598747-scalpel-1-pack-blade-automatically-retracts) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
