knifeblades

Sharp metal strips

Knifeblades is the plural of knifeblade, the cutting part of a knife—the flat metal piece with a sharpened edge.

The term emphasizes the blade as distinct from the handle: The knifeblades were forged from high-carbon steel.

Also spelled as two words: knife blades.
