Sorry, I tell my techs a knife is cheaper than a complaint from the pathologists so, please don't abuse. H owever; don't hesitate to use what you need. As teh old saying oges for us "A happy Patholgist is a happy life"!!
A dull is bad for sectioning and is dangerous overall. I can't imagine telling my Histologist to cut corners on knives and they know me well enough that they would think I had lost my mind!! So many other places to cut cost and not affect section quality.

Our histo lab manager is telling us we should only be using one pack of blades (50 per pack) a month. I'm wondering what other techs think of this especially lab managers and supervisors.
