If you go through the tutorials on Jon's site you'll see he's fashioned himself a scalpel handle out of an out paint brush and some tape to hold the blade in I think.
You can pick scalpels up at art shops.

having gone through the motions last night i can say that im not entirely fond of the xacto scalpel and will be ordering a swann and morton #3. the xacto does not seem to locate the blade firmly in the mount and relies on the closing of the prong when you tighten the knurled widgit. the swann will locate the blade firmly in place and wont come lose in the same way the xacto can. can get them cheap on flea bay
