    Abstract: An electrode for an electrosurgical pencil comprises an elongated body made of a conductive material and extending in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end is configured for engaging the electrosurgical pencil. The distal end forms a blade configured for cutting or coagulation of tissue by electrosurgical energy received from the electrosurgical pencil. The blade is defined by two main surface portions on opposite sides of an intermediate plane and joined by an edge extending through the intermediate plane. The edge comprises a smooth-part. The main surface portions have a first surface roughness. The smooth-part of the edge has a second surface roughness being lower than the first surface roughness. At least the main surface portions are covered by a surface coating. The smooth-part of the edge is un-coated. The first surface roughness is in a range of 2.0 Ra to 4.0 Ra, and the second surface roughness is less than 1.0 Ra. A method of making the electrode is also disclosed.
