#3 Scalpel Handle
The #3 is the standard handle for small scalpel blades and the most common handle in labs, studios and workshops. The flat, textured grip area keeps your fingers in place for controlled cuts.

The handle can be cleaned and reused. Sold for craft, hobby, laboratory, dissection, taxidermy and educational use. Not sold as a medical device.
