knife blade
Sharp steel section
The knife blade is the flat, sharpened part of a knife that does the cutting—distinguished from the handle.
Blades vary in shape and edge depending on purpose: a chef's knife has a curved blade for rocking cuts, a paring knife a short straight one for precision work.
