An improved blade is disclosed. The blade has an elongated member having rotational symmetry about a center axis. The elongated member further has two ends each having a sharpened edge, wherein at least a portion of each sharpened edge comprises a slicing edge configured to intersect a stalk of grass in non-perpendicular relation. The blade is configured so that rotation of the blade causes the slicing edges to come into non-perpendicular contact with the grass, thereby slicing the grass to be mowed.
