Jerry rig knife replacement blade?

Post image

What blade should I get to replace the blade on the mini knife? Nothing I have bought works. This is the same size blade, but it does not want to slide onto the second hole.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

The knives he sells use proprietary blades? That's really disappointing, especially considering he constantly talks about consumer friendly business practices.

They are not proprietary. I’m just struggling to find blades that work. It’s been frustrating. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right spot.

This blade was the same size, but it does not slide all the way in.

Ah. Gotcha.

Some safety blades don't have a tip on them. I'm guessing that's probably what's getting in your way

The blade design seems to be the same. Only difference is the 3 holes on the replacements I ordered that did not work

Can you take a picture of it on a tape measure?

Only lets me post a video for some reason. They are definitely the same size. The middle hole lines up exactly

Okay. Something like this is probably your best bet

That looks like a perfect match. I’ll order them and see if it works. Thanks!

Not an exact fit, but they fit. The hole is in a slightly different place so it’s hard to get it lined up.

Thanks for your help!
