A scalpel is a kind of melee weapon. It uses the knife skill, but unlike an actual knife, it is not suitable for throwing—doing so will attract a -2 to-hit penalty, rather than a +2 bonus.[1]

Healers start with a scalpel.[2]

[edit] Forcing

If you try to force a lock, there is a large chance the scalpel will break.

[edit] Strategy

The best strategy regarding Scalpel is to find something better and get rid of it as soon as possible, as it is a very poor weapon.
