[Histonet] Disposable blade holder - amateur microscopist has nowbeen offered one!

[Bryan Hewlett]

Gordon,

Thank you for posting the instructions and photos!
They brought back memories of my student days back in the fifties.
I can recall that one of my colleagues almost lost fingers when the piano 
wire broke as he was changing a specimen stub.
Many hours of microtomy practice and even more hours spent hand sharpening 
the Heiffor knives!!
I still have two original Wilkinson sword knives in my possession, although 
they are a little worse of wear now.

Once again, thanks for the memories.

Bryan Hewlett
(retired histotechnologist)
