## Description

Swann Morton Retract away Handle - Sleeved

Review: Excellent quality scalpel handles - Have used these for many years. They are excellent for safely using scalpel blades for general projects as the blades fit inside the handle avoiding the risk of cutting yourself when grabbing hold of the handle, or if the thing falls to the floor - no risk of spearing your foot!!! Sadly Swann Morton seem to have discontinued these handles in favour of an inferior plastic thing - I was really pleased to find the metal version still for sale on desertcart. They are built really well and stand up to use - mine are well over 10 years old. I needed a couple of replacements as I have lost a couple of mine - doubtless they will now reappear after buying replacements!!!
Review: Excellent but does have some issues - Well made, solid handle. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, though. It's quite a heavy handle and the blade slide offers quite a bit of resistance. I dobbed in a little silicon grease to help. As some people have noted, there is some blade wobble compared to a fixed handle. I didn't really notice any movement in use, though. I think the reason for the wobble is that the blade is a little more difficult to access when removing, compared to a fixed handle, so they compensated by loosening it a little. Anyway, cons there are, but the huge pro is safety. Recommended.

**Q: Is this one metal/alloy handled?**
A: Yes and nice to handle. Very strong. Would recommend.  Takes replacement 10A scalpel blades

**Q: What number blades do I need to purchase for this item?**
A: No.6 to 16 will all fit this handle. However please avoid No.12&12d as the blades are curved and will not all you to retract properly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice (possibly unique) tool.
*by R***G on 16 October 2025*

Scalpels are nice tools, but an exposed blade is not so nice. A retractable scalpel is obviously a good idea and desirable. This one has a nice heft, at exactly 50g with a Swann-Morton 10A blade fitted. The blade locks in three positions: fully retracted, halfway out (working position) and fully out (can install or remove blade, or use it this way.) It is secure - you must push down on the white button to make it slide. It is mostly metal. Another reviewer has suggested they may have stopped making these from metal and Amazon is one of few sources selling them still. I don't know. But I'm glad I've bought one. The price is a little steep and I dithered over buying one for ages. It's not special enough that I feel a need to buy a spare while they're available, but I'm glad to have one. I've dropped one star because there is a tiny amount of movement of the blade. That's harsh because I think it's inevitable given the design. I don't think it will affect most uses, if any, but some people will disagree so it's worth mentioning.
