double edges
A sharp edge or point, especially of a cutting implement; frequently used in the phrase 'edge of the sword,' but can also refer to the sharp point or cutting surface of any tool or weapon. The term highlights the dangerous, destructive, or decisive function of the 'mouth' or 'edge' of such implements, sometimes by extension referring to a figurative edge (as in 'double-edged' to express increased sharpness or destructive potential).
