blade-like
Flat and cutting
Blade-like describes something resembling a blade in shape—thin, flat, and often tapering to an edge or point.
The comparison usually evokes knife blades or sword blades: blade-like leaves, blade-like fins.
The term suggests sharpness or sleekness: The boat's blade-like hull cut through the water.
