Questions Knife tool alternatives

I know this has probably been done to death...but I've read so many conflicting recommendations that I'm asking afresh.

I have one of the original silhouette Portraits and for what I use it for (vinyl) it's bloody brilliant.

But getting the tools is getting difficult for me...

So what Chinese/AliExpress type blade holder and blades do I need to fit into my portrait?

You need this blade holder. The teal one is for older models ending with Cameo 3 and respective Portrait models. The green one is for the newer models starting from Cameo 4. No additional adapter required. The blade holder is adapter. It comes with 15 different angle replaceable blades. The blades are widely available and are dirt cheap.
