Shield Blades are a counterpart of shield spikes that deal slashing damage. Rather than be set upon the protective front, the edges of the shields are sharpened, and the shield is used as a large cleaving blade to cut and slash at opponents. The type of weapon it is (light or one-handed) depends on the nature of the shield it is placed on. Like shield spikes, the damage is based on the shield it is placed on (typically 1d4 for a medium light shield and 1d6 for a medium heavy shield).
