More About The Slice Ceramic Scalpel (Replaceable Blade)
What Is a Scalpel Used For?
Usually we associate scalpels with surgical procedures but in Slice?s version, the ceramic scalpel blades have a safety grind?our proprietary finger-friendly edge?that resists cutting skin. So while ultra-sharp metal and other ceramic blades cut through skin and tissue with very little pressure, Slice blades are intended for non-surgical applications. These include electronics work, manufacturing, laboratory work, and crafting applications.
For non-surgical uses, an excessively sharp blade is really just a safety hazard. Slice scalpels offer a safer alternative that protects against accidental lacerations and offers the same benefits as other advanced ceramics: a non-magnetic, non-conductive, non-sparking, chemically inert blades that never rust.
What Kind of Scalpel Blades Are Available?
We offer a variety of shapes for our craft knife blades, which are all compatible with the 10568 scalpel. These include the 10518 blade with a straight edge and rounded tip and the 10520 blade with a curved edge and rounded tip. Because scalpel blade uses include a number of different materials and maneuvers, we?re currently working on several new blade styles to extend the versatility of our craft knives and 10568 scalpel. We expect to have these in stock by early 2018.
How Do I Change The Blade in the Slice Ceramic Scalpel?
Usually a search for how to replace scalpel blades results in a number of different procedures with various tools: forceps, safety gloves, tweezers, etc. The 10568 scalpel handle has a built-in no-tool mechanism to release the old blade and insert the new one. And because the blade is finger friendly, the risk of a cut while replacing blades is extremely low.
How Does the Slice 10568 Scalpel Differ From the 10548 Craft Knife?
Let?s talk about similarities first. Both tools are intended for intricate cutting, scraping, and other detailed work. Both have a slim, weight-balanced handle for fine motor control and both use the same family of Slice blades (the 10518 and 10520, although more styles will be available in 2018). And both tools have a cutting depth of approximately two centimeters.
The main difference between the tools is that our scalpel handle size and shape provide more maneuverability in very tight spaces. The handle is slimmer than the 10548 handle and flat rather than rounded, allowing it to reach into even smaller areas. The 10568 handle is made entirely from durable glass-filled nylon with a notched collar to provide a better grip, while the 10548 Craft Knife features a copper textured control grip.

About Slice
Slice was founded in 2008 by TJ Scimone. Always looking for new ideas, he collaborated with renowned designers to reimagine everyday cutting products, making them safer and easier to use. Since that time, Slice has developed a collection of award-winning safety cutters that increase productivity, lower costs, and, most importantly, reduce injuries. Slice tools are now used in major industries around the world.
Scimone founded Slice as a way to help fund long-term care for his autistic son. One percent of all Slice sales are donated to autism research.
At Slice, we know what?s important. We value safety, innovation, quality, simplicity, and community. These core values are evident in everything we do, from tool design to customer service.
Slice Values
These are the ideas at the heart of the Slice brand. They guide us in every aspect of our business.
Safety:
reducing injuries and preventing accidents
Innovation
: rethinking safety; fresh perspectives in all we do
Quality
: creating quality products and quality relationships
Community
: giving one percent for autism research
Simplicity
: creating intuitive, easy-to-use products; clear communication with our customers
Fresh Thinking = Smart Design
Slices innovative tools reflect our fresh thinking. We collaborate with acclaimed designers to reimagine every aspect of tool use from the perspective of safety, ergonomics, and efficiency. The result is a cleanly-designed line of durable, effective, cutting tools.
Slice makes safer versions of traditional tools like box cutters, utility knives, pen cutters, and craft knives. We've also developed ceramic micro-blade technology with innovative tools like our Precision Cutter and Safety Cutter. Whenever possible, Slice tools are ambidextrous and offer tool-free blade replacement.
Slice, Inc. is a proud member of the American Society of Safety Engineers and the National Safety Council.
Only a small portion of the risks users face are addressed by new handle designs, which is why Slice redesigned the blade.
Most safety cutter brands look for new ways to design their handles. While these innovations are helpful, they don?t solve the core problem. After all,
what cuts you: the handle or the blade?
Slice went back to basics and developed a safer blade, using advanced ceramics.
Because steel is a relatively soft material, it dulls quickly. To give steel blades a useful working life, manufacturers sharpen it far beyond what?s necessary. This workaround sacrifices worker safety for longevity. Slice uses 100 percent zirconium oxide, an extremely hard material that doesn?t need to be oversharpened in order to maintain its edge. This allowed us to develop a proprietary grind that creates a finger-friendly, touchable blade that holds it edge an average of 11.2 times longer than steel.
The difference that blade thickness makes is clear: metal cuts skin easily while Slice ceramic blades require much more force before they?ll pierce skin.
Slice blades are wider and include a small micro edge that does the actual cutting. The grind angles create a blade that cuts materials effectively, but resists cutting skin. Slice blades disperse their pressure, requiring much more force to pierce skin?s tough outer layer than narrow steel blades.
Slice ceramic blades offer many other advantages over steel. They:
Never rust
Are chemically inert
Don?t require any oily coating or lubricant
Are safe up to 1600 degrees Celsius
Are non-sparking, non-conductive, and non-magnetic
Are maintenance-free
Don?t require sharps box disposal
Are recyclable
Are safe for clean rooms
