Blade

A blade is the portion of a tool, weapon, or machine with an edge that is designed to cut and/or puncture, stab, slash, chop, slice, thrust, or scrape surfaces or materials. A blade may be made from a flaking stone, such as flint, metal (usually steel), ceramic, or other material. Blades are one of humanity's oldest tools, and continue to be used for combat, food preparation, and other purposes.

Uses

During food preparation, knives are mainly used for slicing, chopping, and piercing.

In combat, a blade may be used to slash or puncture, and may also be thrown or otherwise propelled. The function is to sever a nerve, muscle or tendon fibers, or blood vessel to disable or kill the adversary. Severing a major blood vessel typically leads to death due to exsanguination. Shrapnel wounds via the fragments' blade-like nature.

Blades may be used to scrape, moving the blade sideways across a surface, as in an ink eraser, rather than along or through a surface.

Physics

A simple blade intended for cutting has two faces that meet at an edge. Ideally this edge would have no roundness but in practice all edges can be seen to be rounded to some degree under magnification either optically or with an electron microscope. Force is applied to the blade, either from the handle or pressing on the back of the blade. The handle or back of the blade has a large area compared to the fine edge. This concentration of applied force onto the small edge area increases the pressure exerted by the edge. It is this high pressure that allows a blade to cut through a material by breaking the bonds between the molecules/crystals/fibres/etc. in the material. This necessitates the blade being strong enough to resist breaking before the other material gives way.

This Side Of Heaven

by: Play Dead

Clinging to your instinct for life
A bold favor from the Christian legacy
Come into the garden of delights
Where man has to judge his own behaviour
Conscious to the very fact
A chance meeting with a lone stranger
Casually you lose the day
The law's clear the silent danger
That must be hell this side of heaven
Nothing erodes the sign of redemption
That must be hell this side of heaven
Nothing erodes the sign of redemption
Public courage takes pride in their choice
There's a limit to you men who count the angels
Quietly you seem to suffice
The same train leads to...
That must be hell this side of heaven
Nothing erodes the sign of redemption
That must be hell this side of heaven
Nothing erodes the sign of redemption
That must be hell this side of heaven
Nothing erodes the sign of redemption
That must be hell this side of heaven
