Le Naturaliste

I have just received a quantity of microtome knives. If anybody wants to buy or trade for one or more , send me a private message.
I do not expect to receive the world for them. They are all in good condition, obviously taken care of by a professional microtomist.

Salut, de quel genre de couteau est-il question ? Peux-tu publier quelques photos + prix ?
Merci, Pierre

They seem to all be of american manufacture. Various widths from the small ones which are five or six inches and there are also some very wide ones.
The main manufacturer's mark are American Optical, Lipshaw (very famous here in pathology departments) and something like Turkey (somebody's last name who manufactured blades.)
For members of this list I will ask $20 for the trouble of packing them carefully, plus any shipping and paypal charges.

I will post some pictures.

Bjr,

J'ai fini par en acheter un car j'avais de gros doute sur le tranchant de ma lame de microtome.
Je crois que c'est un ustensile très intéressant, parfois vendu à des prix prohibitifs.
(par contre, je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion de voir ce que ça donne)

Hi Gene,

I will post some pictures.

very good idea! We are waiting...

They are very standard knives from American Optical and Lipshaw
All have edges in very good condition. Only two need any attention at all (nicks that need regrinding)
The AO are wide (about 6")and Lipshaw even wider(8"). There is some variation in the width of the bevel. (which I think connotes the number of times the edge may have been honed)
The ebay range for such knives is $10 to $70
I will be asking $30 each plus shipping and paypal fees.
If this interests anyone send me a PM.
