Why a scalpel

A surgical blade profile in a knife handle. Ground far thinner than any sharpenable knife can be, so it cuts hide and connective tissue with almost no force — and snaps if you twist it. Replaced rather than sharpened.

1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All Surgical Stainless knives
