A scalpel handle comprising: a receiving member configured to receive a blade therethrough, wherein the scalpel handle comprises: a main portion coupled to the receiving member, the main portion having a plurality of indentations (410 1-M) on both a first surface and a second surface thereof, each indentation of the plurality of indentations being evenly spaced from each adjacent indentation and the plurality of indentations extending continuously from a first end of the main portion proximate the receiving member and a projection of the first end on the main portion along a first length of the main portion across an entire width thereof, the first length being at least two-thirds of a second length of an entirety of the main portion but less than the second length, the width of the main portion being at least five times a maximum width of the receiving member, and a thickness (502, 506) of the main portion being at least 2.5 times a maximum thickness of the receiving member, wherein the main portion comprises a second end farthest away from the receiving member and a third end closest to the receiving member, the third end also being proximate the first end, wherein all outer surfaces of the main portion including the first surface and the second surface are convex in shape around edges (516, 518) thereof, wherein the receiving member is provided such that the blade received therewithin extends from a position external to the scalpel handle to a position proximate the first end and the third end, and an entirety of the blade is always external to the main portion of the scalpel handle, and wherein the main portion further comprises an angled shoulder extending across the projection of the first end on the main portion and the third end such that the angled shoulder serves as a structural boundary of the main portion at the third end and the projection of the first end. a main portion coupled to the receiving member, the main portion having a plurality of indentations (410 1-M) on both a first surface and a second surface thereof, each indentation of the plurality of indentations being evenly spaced from each adjacent indentation and the plurality of indentations extending continuously from a first end of the main portion proximate the receiving member and a projection of the first end on the main portion along a first length of the main portion across an entire width thereof, the first length being at least two-thirds of a second length of an entirety of the main portion but less than the second length, the width of the main portion being at least five times a maximum width of the receiving member, and a thickness (502, 506) of the main portion being at least 2.5 times a maximum thickness of the receiving member, wherein the main portion comprises a second end farthest away from the receiving member and a third end closest to the receiving member, the third end also being proximate the first end, wherein all outer surfaces of the main portion including the first surface and the second surface are convex in shape around edges (516, 518) thereof, wherein the receiving member is provided such that the blade received therewithin extends from a position external to the scalpel handle to a position proximate the first end and the third end, and an entirety of the blade is always external to the main portion of the scalpel handle, and wherein the main portion further comprises an angled shoulder extending across the projection of the first end on the main portion and the third end such that the angled shoulder serves as a structural boundary of the main portion at the third end and the projection of the first end.
