ploughshare
Soil-turning blade
A ploughshare is the cutting blade of a plough—the broad metal piece that slices into the soil and turns it over.
The word appears most famously in the biblical phrase about beating swords into ploughshares, meaning to convert instruments of war into tools of peaceful agriculture.
Also spelled *plowshare* in American English.
