How do you trim off the Spurs on metal figures without one?

With a razor knife/Xacto. Picked up some scalpel blades at a garage sale one. They were excellent for cutting balsa but they dulled very fast. Went through them pretty fast.

Xacto knives have a scalpel blade. If we are talking surgery scalpels, yes, I would not use those.

Love scalpels but true that – they dull pretty quick

Why yes, yes I do… but only fine cuts on soft materials-
also occasional self surgery like removing splinters, cuticles etc… xacto is for lead!
