Answer

BLADE

This word refers to the flat cutting edge of a tool or weapon, such as a knife, sword, or razor. It can also describe the flat part of an oar, propeller, or ice skate that makes contact with water or ice. The word comes from Old English 'blaed' meaning leaf, which makes sense given the flat, thin shape of most blades.
