Yuma:

Scalpels; Met App Pty Ltd in Victoria is where I got mine over 25 yrs ago. The various tools I had from them have seen a hell of a lot of use and have held up really well and were very good professional surgery grade tools. I can't recall hurting too badly on the price, you get what you pay for.

#23 size good for bigger caping jobs like ears - uses a slightly bigger handle

#11 and I think 10 from memory etc good for eyelids etc

stitch cutter for the same handle as #11 takes

I use others but the above will do 99% of hunting use.

Blades last a while, easy to resharpen rather than throw away, the above are very, very lightweight. If I need anything bigger I go to an older Puma Junior which has served well. I purchased several hundred blades and still not quite used them up because I re-sharpen them.

Get a quality stainless handle, the old plated brass/bronze ones wear and become dangerous (blade slippage).

The craft type you see I'd say are useless compared to the pro grade tools.
