Craft scalpels photographed before shipping to friends

The knife that's highest up in the top image is 01 tool steel (arne) ca 58-60 hardness the bottom two are spring steel ca 55-57 att the hardness scale. They are flat grinds at 20 degrees with a polished micro bevel.
 
Those are really nice. :thumbup:
If they will be used as scalpels probably a mirror finish would be appropriate and also getting rid of the maker's mark, at least from the blade.
 
I like making scalpels. They are so useful for small craft work.

If the edge was straight from heel to tip, those would be perfect kiridashi.
