This knife was originally made of steel, later of chromed steel or stainless steel. Blade and handle consist of one piece, or can be combined into one. In the first case, the blade must be sharpened regularly, in the other case, you have replaceable blades that are attached to the handle. The blade can be straight, convex or curved with a razor-sharp edge. The length of the blade varies between 1.5 and 6 cm. The blade cuts on one or both sides and has a rounded or very sharp point. It is used by surgeons and veterinarians to accurately make fine, deep cuts during surgery. The scalpel is also used by the painting conservator who scrapes and smooths the putty applied to gaps in the painting. See also penknife and pocket knife. [MOT]

Wide chisel (up to 8 cm) with one or two bevels, a tang and a neck, or a socket and a shank, or all metal (1). Unlike the mortise chisel, the firmer chisel is for heavy-duty work: carving out a pin, hollowing out a drill bit hole, etc. The handle is usually fitted with one or two ferrules to prevent cracking. Some chisels with a triangular cross-section, which often get thicker towards the handle (2), are only slightly wider than thick. The Japanese chisel (Japanese: õire nomi), also for the heavier work, is used in a set with different widths and lengths. See also the joiner's gouge. [MOT] (1) See a long specimen (95 cm) in "Les moulins": 24. (2) Eg. GROTH: 196.

If you want to set the teeth of a saw (see saw-setting iron and saw-setting pliers) and / or files (see saw file), the saw blade can be fixed in a saw file holder. It consists of two wooden boards (approx. 10-50 cm long) that can be tightened with one or more screws. There are loose and fixed models that can be screwed to the workbench. [MOT]
