1. Not sure I understand the scalpel idea. How is that different to the knife - the knife only doesn't cut through bone, so how would the scalpel be deeper?

2. Actually a saw that you needed to move back and forth was also an idea I had. But I was thinking it would cut all the way through like the chainsaw.

I can't really picture how it would look and work if it didn't cut all the way through. Maybe you could clarify?

Hello. The knife, if you just slash once, usually only cuts down to the muscle. The scalpel could cut all the way down to the bone in a single slash. Or, if you ever figure out how to implement organs, the scalpel could be used to cut down to them. Kind of like surgery, except not in a good way.

I see.

I might make it the other way round though - the knife makes deeper cuts, and the scalpel, being smaller and more precise will make shallower cuts.

Oh, wait... that's actually a good idea. However, there is one problem with the logic of this. Scalpels tend to be much, MUCH sharper than knives, because knives are meant to cut stuff like meat, and scalpels are meant to cut flesh, and human flesh is tougher than many types of animal meat and/or skin, so scalpels would need to be sharp.

Or, it could cut deeper depending on how fast you do it. For example, it could cut really deep if you cut fast, but if you cut slowly, it would make shallow cuts.

True, scalpels are sharp, but also very small.

And I'm also thinking about it's intended use - scalpels are designed for precision, even though they are very sharp. In contrast the knife is big and better represents big slashes that do more damage.

Does that make sense?

Oh, now I get what you're saying. Yes, that does make sense. Now that I think about it, scalpels typically aren't used for mutilating people, and a knife is much larger than a scalpel, so it would make much larger cuts...

Also, can you confirm or deny whether the scalpel will be added in the next update?
