A cutting question

Close-up of a scalpel knife

My first worrying question of 2007: what have I done with my scalpel?

It usually sits in my pen mug on my desk, as I use it for craft-style cutting and trimming of paper, plastic, card, etc. I remember using it while Jane and I were making Christmas presents a couple of weeks ago … but now it’s gone! Hmmm…

It’s a Swann-Morton, no. 3 handle with a no. 10 blade fitted. It answers to the name of “Scalpel”. Answers on a blog comment to the usual address…

    Haven’t seen it, but try whistling. No matter what i’ve lost I always whistle on instinct, after seeing those key ring whistley things.

    I would suggest looking inside the last person you operated on. Always a good starter for ten.
