Thread: Left Hand Microtome

I had a DUH moment today after I bought a microtome. Actually a Microscopic section cutter according to the tang!

I for some reason had never thought of these as being left or right handed and until I looked closer to it at home. I did a quick search and the pictures I found were of right hand ones.

It has much wear and a ding in the edge but if I can get it sharp I may have to look for a right handed one to make a shaving set!



This is a good example of why I like different things [at least to me]. I have gotten way more than my moneys worth already.
