replacement blade

Swap-in sharp edge

A replacement blade is a spare cutting edge designed to be swapped into a tool when the original dulls or breaks.

Razors, utility knives, and box cutters commonly use replacement blades: I need to pick up some replacement blades for my razor.

The term emphasizes the blade is not the original but a substitute of the same type.
