ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A surgical scalpel (100) has a hollow handle (101) provided with a cleat (104), and the cleat (104) has a rib (105) for mounting a blade (106). A guard (107) is telescopically received within the hollow handle (101) for sliding movement therein. The guard (107) has an advanced position in which the blade (106) is covered and an alternate retracted position in which the blade is exposed for use during a surgical procedure. The guard (107) is an inverted U-shaped channel including a pair of side walls (109, 110) having respective closed longitudinal slots (122, 123) formed therein. A pin (121) is carried by the handle (101) transversely thereof and is received in the closed longitudinal slots (122, 123), thereby providing a bearing guide means and a stop means (120) between the guard (107) and the handle (101). A resiliently-based detent means (113) is provided between the guard (107) and the handle (101), and the detent means (113) is independent of the stop means (120).
