>>84030 Ah, so that's what you meant by "obtain" Next time also obtain a handle ;o) I know for scalpels like these, you have either metal handles or just plastic handles, with the first obviously more expensive. I don't know what they cost where you live, like I said, I use Xacto blades and they cost about 1.50-2.00 bucks per package of five, which will last you long enough. And you need to "obtain" a handle once of course.
You know, what if you just ask at the hospital or first aid if you could just have such a plastic handle? They must get these by the hundreds, maybe they'll just give you one? The reason I use a cutting mat isn't that it reduces dulling the blades (but I'm sure it helps, especially compared to using a wooden board like the one people use to cut bread on). I used to use carton/cardboard as well, but of course then you'll have cuts in your textbook as well. And after a while, if you keep using it, the blade will start following these old cuts, making it difficult to cut straight... On rubber (self healing) cutting mats, these cuts kinda "close up" after cutting.
