Jesus Christ, man. Deer can't feel anything. I can. And slices make me queasy.
That's what the beer is for.

Those arts and craft stores have some great round edge carving knives, razor sharp. Use it later for cutting gaskets, or scrimshaw on your fish tank?

Are you scraping something with it, that's why
it has to be rounded? Do I win something if I
guess correctly?


I'm guessing a wart he is going to take off.

Most drug stores sell little disposable scalpels for under $3.

Nah, just a cyst. Need a bitty centimeter slice, don't want to / haven't been able to do it with the straight blades.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

Whoa, lotta replies while I was typing.

Didn't know Xacto made curved blades like that, pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Drug store was good too; I can get both for <$10.

Thanks all =)

No doctors in your neck of the woods?
Sounds risky to me.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Don't mention it. Remember to sterilize it with alcohol before use of course!

I thought maybe you was going to give yourself a vasectomy. I know if my ex got pregnant one more time I would have. : )

Risk/reward.

It's such a simple thing that will cost a ton of money. Hell, walking in the door is liable to be over $50 right there. By the time you figure time, utensils, anesthesia, analgesic, bandage... it'll be a several hundred dollar bill. Maybe more.

DIY is free. Well, $3 for a blade, $2.25 for booze, pennies for ice and tissue.

Do it wrong, then I'll pay the $X00. But do it right, I just saved a week's pay. Don't make sense to guarantee a cost and go to the sawbones straight away.

Uh-oh, did I get you to sign that hold-harmless agreement? Should I have stayed outside busting up pallets for the latest project?
