plough coulter

Explanation:
The coulter is the basic blade part of the plough which forms the furrow.

It has been in use for thousands of years, and is still used on modern ploughs.

see:

"In operation the coulter makes a perpendicular cut separating the furrow-slice which is divided from the "sole" of the furrow."

http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Plough_And_Ploughing

“The coulter was a technical innovation introduced to Britain by the Romans. Its function was to make a vertical cut in advance of the plough-share, which then undercut the furrow made by the coulter. This made it easier to cultivate heavy soils. Roman coulters were therefore stout knife-like iron blades with a heavy shaft by which they were secured to the plough's wooden beam.”
