blades

A blade is the portion of a tool, weapon, or machine with an edge that is designed to puncture, chop, slice or scrape surfaces or materials. Blades are typically made from materials that are harder than those they are to be used on. Historically, humans have made blades from flaking stones such as flint or obsidian, and from various metal such as copper, bronze and iron. Modern blades are often made of steel or ceramic. Blades are one of humanity's oldest tools, and continue to be used for combat, food preparation, and other purposes.
Blades work by concentrating force on the cutting edge. Certain blades, such as those used on bread knives or saws, are serrated, further concentrating force on the point of each tooth.

    Silicone removers - any recommendations?

    Hello, I've used a number of different silicone removers (HG, Unibond and No Nonsense) and wondered if anyone had found one that was any good. They all seem to get most but not all of it off and you still have to resort to blades, scrapers and scourers! Thanks Mark
