Origin of bladed¹

First recorded in 1570–80; blade + -ed ³

He raised his long-bladed knife to strike, but before he could bring his arm down, the dagger was beaten from his grasp.

Reaching upward with his long-bladed knife, he touched it against the white belly of the monster, and then gave it a strong push.

The wind was keen and terrible as a saw-bladed sword, and smote incessantly.

The long two-bladed paddle lay in the bottom, just as he himself had laid it after rowing ashore with The Panther.

As it was, he only saw the same dark resolute countenances and ringed heads, the same great broad-bladed assegais.
