I don't know for sure, but I would imagine the blade from a CS would fit in the PS. I'm sure someone who knows for sure will be along soon.  :tu:

Micra no, Style CS/PS yes. The Style shares the same back spring chassis design as the Squirts, so most of the tools can be swapped in.

The Style CS and Style PS MAY not use the same length screws, since the screw sticks out on the PS's scissors much more than on the CS's knife blade, so you may also need to take the pivot screw along with the blade if you do a swap.

I was just looking at this last night. That's the only reason it came to mind.

Thanks, I'll pay attention to that.
I'll be trying this in a few weeks time and report back.

good point, Lynn. I did a similar swap recently (replaced the PS's scissors with a knife blade from a Squirt P4), but I can't remember which pivot screws I used, as there was also a disassembled Style CS on the table at the time. :whistle:

OK Lynn, I did the swap today and used the pivot screw from the CS that " donated " the blade.
It worked out fine  :D .
When I had all the parts after disassembly it seemed to me that the pivot screw is the same on both CS and PS but the two parts of the scissors are thicker than the blade.
That's why I would say the screw sticks out more on the PS than on the CS.
Just my observation, I didn't use a caliper or anything .
Thanks for everyone's help !
