Abstract
A blade with improved sharpness and durability is disclosed. The blade includes a base plate having an edge and a coating layer for coating the edge. The coating layer is formed of a material handling metal, and a tip of the coating layer is sharpened. It is preferred that an angle (Ba) between two tapered surfaces be between 15 to 45 degrees.
Claims34
A blade characterized by:

- a mixture layer formed by coating layer for coating at least the edge of the base plate, wherein the coating layer includes at least one metal, which is selected from a group consisting of Pt, Zr, W, Ti, Ag, Cu, Go, Fe, Ge, Al, Mg, Zn, and Cr, and a carbon material;
- and
- wherein the coating layer is partially removed by at least one of sputtering, vapor deposition, ion plating, and vapor phase growth.
A blade including a base plate having an edge and a coating layer for coating at least the edge, the blade being characterized in that the coating layer includes:
- an intermediate layer which main component is at least one metal selected from a group consisting Pt, Zr, Ag, Cu, Co, Fe, Ge, Mg, and Zn;
- and
- a carbon layer formed on the intermediate layer.
