      I can't find anyone and as far as I know the CIRO company has gone closed for a long time please correct me if wrong because I am wanting to get this blade. Replaced. I am referring to the original owner who founded the company Leo Catazzo when I say closed and out of business, if there is another company that took it over and making parts by all means, please let me know

        The company is still working and producing splicers, but not the Super-8, 8mm or 9.5mm ones any more...
        https://www.cir-srl.com

        You might be able to contact them, if you have specific questions about blades or other spare parts.​

        Spare parts can be bought from several dealers, for example these ones...

        I am sure I have seen other websites that supply parts, too (e.g. American ones). And then there is always eBay.

          I hope someone can help me find the correct part for my splicer specific.

          Allow me to be clear even though I've said this already the model specific number is

          M-3 SPECIAL SUPER 8 PROFESSIONAL

          I need the U-blade.

            Just contact them. They might have a box of spare 8mm blades still lying around.

            Would it be possible to sharpen your existing blade, if everything else fails?

              Have you tried Dwight Cody at 'CutFilm' in the States? He has dealt with CRI for awhile. I have bought CIR stuff from him before.

              Tel. (617) 908-6258 Best to call him and ask.

                Thank you everyone. I have an email out to CRI / Italy.

                Cut film did try and help me but they sent the blade for the cheaper yellow plastic model. So that was a goose egg. There's a company called Christie digital California based that was liable for the error not Dwight. Generally speaking that idea went down as a no go.

                  I have to correct myself. Contrary to what I said before, Catozzo is still offering splicers for 8mm, Super-8 and 9.5mm, but these are the small "amateur" versions, not the professional ones. For Super-8 they even still sell the cheap plastic version. Catozzo also has a 16mm "amateur" splicer, in addition to the regular 16mm M.3 one...

                    I have sent a couple of emails looking for the U blade and they have not answered me at all. Very strange
