I just
ran across this thread--if you are looking for scalpel handles, the place to go is Lee Valley, a Canadian company that has a great website. I have one of their handles--it's big and heavy and allows very careful movement. The founder, some guy Lee, started by
writing a book on how to sharpen chisels. Eventually the company became the best source of
quality tools in the world.
Good on him.
The opthalmic surgeons in Ottawa go to Lee Valley to buy scalpel handles!
Beautiful coin, by the way!
