A surgical blade includes a region that has a mirror finish such that the blade can reflect an image that can be viewed by a user. A first portion of the blade is a sharpened edge and a second portion of the blade has a mirror. The mirror portion of the blade can be useful in situations where visualization can be facilitated by using a mirror at or near the region where the blade is used. Upon identification or visualization of the region to be incised, a user can create an incision using the first, sharpened portion of the blade.
