Dull scalpel blades can hinder your creativity and lead to subpar results.A fresh blade allows for ultra-precision, enabling you to make clean cuts that set your work apart.The frequency of blade replacement when crafting depends on several factors, such as the material being cut, the amount of use, and the level of precision required for the task at hand.But if you hear a specific sound while cutting, for example, a carton, it is time to replace the blade. It is advisable not to spare the blade, because a blunt blade can begin to tear the cutting material and the ends of the cut will be torn and sloppy.

Safety guidelines for using scalpels and precision knives in craft and hobby work

  • When using scalpels, it's important to consider the position of the blade to achieve the desired results. The position as a writing pen is best for small cuts and punctures, while the position as a table knife provides more pressure force and a larger cut. The position as a bow provides more scope, but less force.
  • To ensure safety and longevity of the scalpel, it should be stored properly. 
  • Always remove the mounted blade after use and store it in a safe place. 
  • Avoid dropping the blade onto hard surfaces such as metal or stone as this can damage the cutting edge and reduce its performance.
  • Never grip the cutting edge with pliers or other tools.
  • While working at a table, protect yourself from a potential injury by placing something on your lap in case the scalpel accidentally falls. 
  • Do not throw the scalpel into a drawer or leave it on a table. Consider using a special case, work station, or cap to protect the blade.
  • To improve the quality of the cut and protect your work surface, use special cutting mats or self-healing cutting mats as a base for the material. These mats often come with useful markings and rulers. Avoid using fabric gloves that can slip on the metal surface, or gloves that are too thick, which can cause your fingers to slip.
  • Finally, never check the sharpness of a scalpel blade with your skin. This can lead to serious injury.
