Are rotary cutter blades interchangeable with different brands?

I was at Joann's last night to pick up new blades for my Fiskars rotary cutter.

Since Olfa blades were on sale I was going to buy them, especially since Fiskars did not have a "pinking" blade which is what I wanted.

When I asked the clerk she told me she "didn't think" they were exchangeable.

My LQS did not have a "pinking" blade which is why I went to Joann's in the first place.

Although I love the sales at Joann's, the clerks at 2 stores near me do not seem to know the merchandise. Every time I ask them a question about a product they don't know the answer.

Another for instance is, while cutting on my fiskars mat the other night, it actually cut into the mat. I can feel the cut even though it is a self-healing mat. They couldn't tell me if I could exchange it. I had to speak with a manager who "comes in and out at all hours". This store is 25 miles away!

Does anyone know for sure whether the blades are exchangeable? :?:

I seem to get better answers from this board than from stores which should know their products.

Thanks in advance,
Jan
