Danish term

skær

Danish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
From the same text about the manufacture of blades.
The text mentions specific types of skær:

Vi fremstiller knive med forskellige skær, afhængig af kundens ønsker.
Det mest brugte er centerskær eller dobbelt centerskær.
Men også sideskær er lagervare.

My first thought is of course edge, but I am not finding many hits for "double centre edge blade" which has me doubting.

Anybody know?

Proposed translations

cutting edge or blade

double centre cutting edge or blade

Feb 14, 2018 - Every knife has an edge style, a way the blade has been ground to make it sharp. The most common, of course, is a V-edge which looks like it sounds—two slanting sides that go straight to the cutting edge. The great majority of kitchen knives have this type of edge.

edge

No question that skær is edge in this context; see the Danish definition here:

I also found a picture of sideskær on a figure skate:

As for your 'dobbelt centerskær,' all you have to do is change your word order slightly - it's obviously a double-edge(d) knife or blade:

But now we come to the question of centerskær and sideskær. If you were in a big hurry you might transliterate to "center edge" and "side edge," but these don't really roll off the tongue. I didn't do an in-depth search, but at least for kitchen knives, it would appear that "V-edge" and "chisel edge" will serve:
