[Histonet] Reichert Jung Frigocut 2700 and disposable blades

[Juan Solon]

Would this be true for the older Frigocut (2700) as well?

The Leica Knife Holder CE for disposable blades fits the Reichert Jung
Frigocut. The knife base CN, CE, or CS, part number 14041918647, has a
flat
bottom so you won't have to mill off the bottom like Rita van Bendegem.
This is an older part number but it is still available.  I have put
these
parts on some of my customers Frigocut 2800 and they work great.
