Cool. I can buy what's on sale then.

I use whatever I can find in my Fiskars and I have never had a problem.

The ones I was talking about had pastel colored plastic added in the center. I have a Fiskers paper cutter that takes the standard blades, but these are something new.

I buy generic blades at JHittle and use them on 3 different brand cutters.

I have never found a problem with any of them.

I'm on my last blade and it's doing that too.
Well, thanks for letting me know that at least some aren't interchangeable.

I buy the generic for my olfa, they work fine

I have both, My experience is If you have a handle with little ledges for a better word where the blades go, you can only use safely a blade that has the cut outs to fit them. You can use a blade that has the cutouts with one that doesn't have the little ledges. Some of the blades have just round holes,they will not fit safely on the handle with the little ledges. :shock:
IS THIS CLEAR AS MUD OR WHAT? Go figure. :lol: :lol:

So I don't have to buy special ones for my ergonomic rotary cutter?
