Devilishly Fast
The Beauty of Speed
This aint no fashion statement.
This is pure, purposeful design.
Every element of the Scalpels form is driven by function above all kinematics, weight, stiffness, and capability.
Features drive the shape, instead of the shape constraining the features.
And fast looks good.
