A surgical scalpel having multiple cutting segments designed especially for podiatric surgical procedures is disclosed. More particularly, the scalpel blade has a handle attachment section and a number of cutting segments. The blade includes a single-edged longitudinal cutting segment extending from the handle attachment section, a single-edged curved cutting segment contiguous with the longitudinal cutting segment, and a double-edged end tip cutting segment contiguous with the curved cutting segment. The double-edged end tip cutting segment may be designed in varying degrees of curvature, including semi-circular and semi-elliptical. Multiple cutting edges are contained on one scalpel blade for optimum flexibility, efficiency, and economy.
