My scalpel doesn't get that hot from flaming the blade, are you using an excato knife?

I would always heat as much of the scalpel as possible until The handle became too hot...maybe he does the same

Yeah. I use an Xacto and another type. Which the second type helps tremendously in heat reduction and excess alcohol drips. But with the tube expanding and contracting due to repeated heat cycles has made it loose. Which in turn makes me a bit paranoid the blade will fall out. Although it hasn't yet lol. This screw type is very secure and whatnot. It's just the rattle of the comfort grip tube. But when your not looking directly at it and feel the blade rattle. It annoys me haha

The #7 handle is great ime. I also have never had it get hot all the way down, with my old flat handle it would get a little warm if I really went at it but that’s it.

I get the entire blade red and then sometimes do all the way to the part where it slides onto the handle.

Are you guys torching the whole handle also?
