[Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks

Since I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, I feel obligated to tell
you all that there is a handy dandy little "melter" out there for getting
the excess paraffin off the blocks.

You just run the edges of the block over it and voila...trimmed.

When you have up to 600 blocks a day, this thing is wonderful.  And it keeps
your hands from cramping up.

Oh the wonders!!

We use a couple of butter knives we brought from home.

Hi All,

I wonder if someone could help me with this!

I am looking for a stainless steel knife that we use to scrape off the 
paraffin from the embedded blocks.  I could not find the 6 inches size 
knife in any catalog. 

Thanks in advance

Mala
