Not sure if the holder holds 180mm knives; the permanent knife that
came with it is 120mm.  In addition to a disposable holder that's
shaped like a permanent knife, we also need to replace the cryostat
knife holder to which the disposable holder is clamped.  

We're in Rochester, Michigan.  I've seen now several sources for the
dispoable holder & knives, and I'll add your company to the list. =20

Thanks,
Jon
