Do you have to use Olfa blades in Olfa rotary cutters?

I switch blades between cutters all the time. And this leads me to wonder. How many blade factories are there? Is it one factory producing all (or most) of the blades? Does Olfa contract with a different factory or different process than Gingher? And it would be fun to find out if Harbor Freight blades are made in the same place with the same process. Just something to ponder on this sunny Thursday morning!

Blades may fit cutters interchangeably, but notice that the Ofla hub and blades have 3 notches at the hub that line up. I have had cutters wear out at the hub, and I finally stopped using the blades interchangeably. My conclusion is that they work interchangeably, but the situation is not ideal.
