I use the Boston Aqua fram bone cutters and I like them a lot. Cut through bones like butter.

Usually for opening ribs to get at heart and lungs when needed.

Old surgical tools are just creepy , if you want non creepy tools you can get those cutters in a 5 inch size from superstore or walmart as cutical cutters in the makeup section .

cutical cutters are not the same as bone cutters and a lot smaller, mind you I have a set of thoes also for smaller stuff. another good way to get stuff is ask your dentist if he has any old rasps and picks you can have. I got a set for the garage and for my tank :wink: they work good for picking algae out of plug bases and such.

To replace them I bought one of these a year ago. So far they seem to be much more resistant to corrosion. http://www.blueworldaquariums.com/pr...p?prod=1254456

Hope your fingers didn't get in the way when that let go ouch.

Those boston aquafarm cutters look killer. Mine have slid out of my hand a few times... that bridge between both handles gives you a bit more to hold onto when you're angling your attack.
