Lipshaw, now Thermo Shandon (800-547-7429), has something
called a "multi-blade lab knife" that actually is a sturdy metal handle
set up to hold from 1 to 12 microtome knives separated by
approx. 1 mm spacers.  As a single knife, it is a convenient
way to cut large sections.  As a double, it can cut nice
sections from soft tissue. (order # 530)

Does anyone know of a vendor who sells multi-bladed scalpels for mincing 
tissue in widths no greater than 1.0mm?  Or anything close?
