Talk:Blade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Is it worth adding a section on the physics of a blade?
By this I mean stuff like how the shape concentrates force onto a small area and other such things. I'm not sure if it would be relevant to this particular article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bisected8 (talk • contribs) .
- That would be a very good section to add, although beyond the obvious "reduce area -> increase pressure" I haven't seen many satisfactory answers. (For example, answers to the question of why slicing (sawing action) with a streight-edged blade makes cutting easier.) But go ahead and add something. —Ben FrantzDale 11:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
