Gerber Vital replacement blades

[nettereo16]

I'm out of blades... Do I need to order the specific Gerber Vital blades or is there another scalpel blade that fits? I'd like to save money if it's the same exact thing instead of buying more blades every couple years.

I tried some "other" brand a couple years ago and they did not fit correctly. The slot in the replacement blade was just slightly smaller..... I tried to make them fit since I bought 100! Had to buy the more expensive Gerber ones.
