blade
Grass leaf, thin
A blade is something flat, thin, long, and often sharp (blade of grass, knife blade, razor blade, shoulder blade, wiper blade).
A few blades that have some cutting or separating function don’t have the characteristic shape but still get the name (snowplow blade).
Blade is also an informal and dated term for a fashionable young man.
