Derby City Blades Prototype Scalpel – Minimalist Design, Maximum Character
The Derby City Blades Prototype Scalpel proves that a custom knife doesn’t need a large footprint to make an impression. With its slender profile, skeletonized construction, and distinctive curved blade, this prototype offers a minimalist interpretation of a compact fixed blade.
The 1.85-inch CPM-S90V stainless steel blade features a fine point, sweeping cutting edge, and contrasting two-tone finish. Measuring just 0.11 inches thick, the blade is designed around a narrow profile suited to precise, controlled cutting tasks. CPM-S90V provides excellent wear resistance and edge retention.
Rather than traditional handle scales, the Scalpel uses an exposed, skeletonized steel handle with a blue paracord wrap. This construction keeps the knife remarkably lightweight while adding texture and visual contrast. A matching blue lanyard and decorative bead provide an additional grip extension.
At just 0.8 ounces, the Prototype Scalpel is the lightest of these Derby City Blades offerings. It also includes a custom Kydex sheath for secure storage and carry.
Designed by Derick Duncanson and made in the USA, this prototype highlights the experimental side of custom knife making, where unusual geometry and minimal construction come together in a distinctive design.
For collectors who appreciate unconventional fixed blades and the creative process behind custom knives, the Prototype Scalpel is a particularly interesting piece.
