Cutting edge probably refers to the sharp edge of a knife or sword. This sharp edge is what goes first and cut through obstructions so the knife can go to vital target. â¦   Something or someone who is referred to as being on the cutting edge is someone who leads the way in a new direction or a new purpose.
The terms edge angle and included angle can be important when talking about grinding. The edge angle is measured between the surface of an edge and a line running from the point of the cutting edge to the centre of the back edge. The included angle is the sum of the edge angles. All other things being equal, the smaller the included angle, the sharper the blade and the easier it is to damage the edge. An appropriate grind will depend upon what the blade is to be used for and the material from which the blade is made.
