As an alternative you could consider:
1. 'self-tapping' instead of 'cutting-edge shank', but I'm not quite sure about that. Self-tapping screws do not necessarily have special shanks.
2. 'pan-headed' instead of 'round-head'. I think the latter is the usual term, however.

agree  Dave Calderhead: so its probably a stainless steel flat round-head self-tapping screw with torx slot//more than twice as many hits for self-tapping screws on Google, and this is term I am accustomed to
11 mins
  -> Or self-drilling, as Harry suggests? // Thanks, Dave.
neutral  Harry Borsje: @Dave: self-drilling screws are the ones with the 'wings', no matter the Google count, see http://www.allproducts.com/twfastener/sheuteh/st03.html

Thank you.

agree  Ken Cox: The following website distinguishes between self-drilling screws (for metal) and thread-forming screws (for wood). Also, IMO 'Torx slot' is a misnomer, and 'panhead' is also possible. www.hagerhinge.com/catalog/default.asp?c=113

agree  Jack den Haan: Post grading. @Kenneth: It has an interesting glossary, as well!
