I ordered the wrong thing.....I think. There are two distinct styles of blades for the Fiskars Personal Paper Trimmer. "Original (Style G)" and "Triple Track (Style 1)". Blades referred to as "High Profile" refer to the improved Triple Track (Style 1) blade. This is very unclear when ordering from any vendor. The seller needs to show a profile view of the blade. I will post photos of all 3 blade styles.
Also, a 2-pack can mean 1 cutting blade & 1 scoring blade, or it can mean 2 cutting blades. To me the scoring blade was useless. Some people might be able to use it for folding. I just want to trim paper and photos.
As far as I can tell, item #2639 and #9596 = Old style, and item #96** = triple track.
Check out my photo submission showing all 3 styles

I for some reason assumed everyone else just ordered without doing their homework, so despite all the one-star reviews citing that it did not fit, I ponied up and ordered them when I lost my cutting carriage. After consulting the Fiskars site and double checking make and model, I was confident these would work. Nope. No deal. They don't even come close to fitting, so you can't even use these in any way with the trimmer. Booo!Best Deals for Triple 196870-1001 Track Refill Blade For No.9893
We ordered these to replace dull ones on our paper trimmer. They were supposed to be the right ones but when they arrived ... oops ... close but not exact. These had a channel on either side that the old ones didn't. Hubby got out his Drimmel and cut the channel off and they work like a charm. There were no numbers to refer to so no way to assure these were exactly the same thing but all worked out well ultimately. These little blades last a LONG time good product.Honest reviews on Triple 196870-1001 Track Refill Blade For No.9893
Fiskars Replacement Steel Blade Carriage for 12-Inch Portable Trimmer , 2 per pack (1296877097)I had a bad experience with Amazon on Friskars products. I already owned a paper cutter. No model number appears on it. The blade was very worn. I looked in Amazon and saw that they carried Friskars carriage blades.
Buy new: $6.30
When I received them I realized that they would not fit. The channels are too deep. I have a picture of both types but am unable to send it to you with this message. So then, I ordered this:
Fiskars 9698 Euro 12-Inch Portable Paper Trimmer by FISKARS
Buy new: $25.99 $21.49
That turns out to be exactly the same as what I already owned, but it did come with two of the correct blades which I would like to keep. I would like to be able to return the new paper cutter and the two incorrect blades (both packages have been opened). You would do yourselves a big favor by getting Amazon squared away on what works with wheat. Model numbers would make this much easier.
