Partha, however, quickly cut them into fragments by means of ten keen-edged shafts, and endued with great energy, the son of Pritha then, inflamed with wrath on the field of battle, discharged three and ten arrows whetted on stone and resembling flames of fire.
I'm jealous of the very clothes that dare her sides enroll When she veils her dainty body of the delicatest grace: I envy every goblet of her lips that taketh toll When she sets the kissing cup on that sweetest kissing-place. But deem not by the keen-edged scymitar I'm slain The hurts and harms I dree are from arrows of her eyes.
An instant later he realised the cruel hoax that had been played on him, for extending over a distance of many yards in every direction was a sort of pavement of broken glass, pointed and keen-edged as a forest of razors. The glass had been so firmly fixed in the ground that it was impossible to remove it; and Frobisher instantly realised that his escape that way was most effectually barred.
"After all that stretch o' talk," smiled Driggs, "you ought to show me a whole case full of chisels." "I hid it over here," Curtis explained, going over to one of the open sheds. "I tucked it in under this packing case. Here it is, now, just where I left it. Do you recognize it as yours?" From the newspaper wrapping Driggs took the small but keen-edged implement. He regarded it curiously.
The battle for political honesty would inevitably involve his father; would, if successful, defeat and disgrace him. As often as he thought he had closed decisively with the idealistic determination, the other side of the argument sprang up again, keen-edged and biting.

She got the rifle into her hands again, nearly dropped it, thrust it above her, jammed it into a fork of a limb and kept on climbing. At last she was where she could reach out and touch the swinging carcass. With King's keen-edged butcher knife she hacked and cut at the frozen meat, panting with every effort.
Then a lean, brown hand was laid on the sill. It still seemed to hesitate. Something gleamed vaguely in that hand a crooked jambiyeh, needle-sharp at the point, keen-edged and balanced for the stroke that silently slays. Motionless, unbreathing even, the shadow waited a long minute. Then all at once over the sill it writhed, quick, lithe as a starved panther.

From the letters of her father, from talks with old-timers she knew how in the stampedes every man's hand had been for himself, how keen-edged had been the passion for gold, a veritable lust that corroded the souls of men.
“Tha’s all right,” replied the big trapper complacently; then, with a quick motion, he whipped out his keen-edged knife and snatching one of my cartridges he severed the shell neatly between the two wads which separated the powder and shot; that is, a wad in each piece of the cartridge was exposed by the cut.
