A rough approximation of your blade done in AutoCAD.

No actual dimensions were used in the construction of this object. Everything is a figment of my imagination.

Ive got it I used the loft to fill it out then used the loft to cut it out I would still like to know how anyone else would do it

Circular and concave. Now I see why you mentioned Revolve. Well at least I guessed right on the beveled edge.

 

Can you post an image of what you created? Thanks.

 

Question. Is the blade curving up or down? Not sure I can tell. My guess is curving "up". Where is this blade used and how is it mounted?

Looks like a simple Revolve to me (except of course for the "fins"). Attach your file here.

The Blade is used with another blade to pull cotton stalks it is attached with a circular flange and a shaft that is inside of an offset bearing housing http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=harrell+stalk+puller&oq=harrell+stalk+puller&gs_l=youtube.3...1509.8123.0.9245.20.20.0.0.0.0.265.2023.12j7j1.20.0...0.0...1ac.8oKT7ZnwzS4

If this link doesnt work go on you tube and search harrell stalk puller to see the blades in action
