metal blade

Cutting tool part

A metal blade is a flat, thin piece of metal with a cutting edge, as found on knives, swords, saws, or ice skates.

The term emphasizes the material and shape rather than the tool itself: The metal blade glinted in the sunlight.

Blade alone usually suffices unless distinguishing from ceramic or plastic alternatives.
