You'd probably be able to get rid of the blade clamp and fit it directly into the barrel.

Hi Rye

I did look into using those type of blades before I took the plunge, but after
reading how these drag knifes work, it's all about the offsets, the blade you have pointed out would be perfect for fine detail cut outs, but cutting thicker material
the blade would perform better if it was more angled, i.e. a bit like trying to cut
a thick cake with the knife at 90 degrees instead of 45 sorry for my analogy.

I have also edited my last post with a link to a Youtube video so you can see it
