How Often do You Switch Your Blade?
    #27300433 - 05/08/21 04:47 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

How often do you change ur blade on youre scalpel for transfer/cloning work? Ive been using a fresh out of the sterile package for each sesh, flame sterilizing between each plate, and tossing it at the end. Does everyone else do this too or store it in ISO and use again w flame sterilization?

I only change my blades when they’re too dull from repeated heating and cooling.

I bought a 100 pack of exacto blades, which are cheap. I use them either once or twice. But I think you could get away with using them many times.

Mine bend to one side after some sessions. When it starts to annoy me, I switch the blade. I mean, we're not cutting something hard here. It's just Agar

Edit: oh I forgot, for cloning I take a fresh blade. Fuck cutting stringy tissue with a dull blade

Basically never, for agar. But when trying to carve a chunk out of a stem for a clone, I like to use a new blade for that.

I only change my blades when they’re too dull from repeated heating and cooling.
However, the first time  I ordered curved blades.    The second time, I ordered straight blades.    So I am anxious to try the straight blades, thinking they might be better.

However, I will not switch to the straight blades until I have used all the curved blades.    So it might take awhile.    And, like Hindsight, I mainly just use them to excise samples from agar, so I don't think I'll have to reorder scalpel blades anytime soon.  YAY!!!!

Almost never. In the past 5 years my scalpel has seen a total of 3 blades.

Each blade saw thousands of transfers easily.

That and laziness.

Every time I sat down to work I was like "man i need to order more blades..."
then just never did it :lol:

Finally my chick wanted to learn a bit so she sat down to do some agar work
and was like dude this blade is like a bent dull nub so she bought a 100 pack last month.

I'm set for life now:lol:

To add something to the thread, I know nate ain't likely to be a cheap ass, maybe just a lazy ass. Blades are cheap as fuck and using a fresh blade every 5 sesh's or so feels nice, you can tell when a blade is fresh.

On top is a blade I used for 2 years or so and on bottom is a new blade from the 100 pack my chick ordered.

I rarely change my blades. Every once in a while though I'll think "you know what? I'm doing pretty good. I'm doing some awesome shit. I deserve to use a fresh blade". Then I change it, and keep the old one....haha

Like even when you havent used it? Just sometimes go in and switch out one new blade for another. Keep a straight face as you pull one out of its package, put it on, take it right off in the next swoop of ur hand and promptly replacing it with another freshie just to put it into your ISO cup, turn the light off and walk away.
