Here is a link showing that Bosch makes blades with a cut edge. It is interesting that ad mentions cut is for smoother movement.

The actual product that I am really interested in is squeegee related and molded or extruded material lacks a high engough quality edge.

Also, I do not think that silicone rubber is used, unless it is used in a blend. If you want a quick and easy test for silicone rubber, burn it. Silicone rubber leaves a white char.

It is a co-extrusion method where they extrude a hard compound and as oft compound together.

As Compositepro mentioned, ideally to improve product life, the edge would be a very small radius. Does anyone know how small the radius is?
