Rusty Scalpel is a melee weapon in Pathologic 2 that can also be used during autopsy. It is the lowest quality surgical tool available to the Haruspex. It can be looted from containers, sold to all stores, and traded to Dandy in the Soul-and-a-Half Fortress.
On Day 1, a damaged Rusty Scalpel can be found in the Cabinet in Bad Grief's Nest regardless of whether the Haruspex agrees to perform an operation on Grief's man Piecework (who can be found in a house in the Tanners district). Another damaged Rusty Scalpel can be found in Rubin's Apartment. If the Haruspex arrives at Piecework's location without an autopsy tool in his inventory, a Tragedian found there will give him a brand new Rusty Scalpel.

| A tool for a surgeon. A tool for a menkhu. A tool for a bandit. A tool for a ripper. A tool for me. This tool would easily damage an internal organ during an autopsy. |
