Hey last season some one posted an alternative blade to the ION expensive replacements.. Anyone remember that thread.. I think it was Mora blades but there was something about the holes not matching or something..

If you have a mora you can use the extension and put the whole mora flute onto the ion using the extension.  They are both shaver blades so I'd imagine if the mounting holes line up the blades should work.  The blades on the ion are the worst part of the auger.  I'm on my 5th pair on the 2nd generation Ion.  If you hit any type of dirty ice you will need new blades.

good job they are hard to find mid season. I keep extra just in case. This is the 1st season I have had to change them. A word of caution the blade screws are very tight, took a while to swap out in the comfort of home hopefully wont need to swap out on the ice; it could be a challenge.

Watch out don't over tighten them. I broke two blades last year because I over tightened them.

I put a drop of blue loctite on the threads then just snug them.
