I thought about suggesting that, but unless you skip the polygons around the
outside of the blade, (and put them into a higher-level "full blade" sub-part),
this will add new polygons, since the polygons around the outside of the blade
span both sides of the proposed cut line. I personally don't believe that the
file-size savings are worth adding a bunch of extra polygons, but other people
might disagree. Pulling the spanning polygons out into a higher sub-file would
produce the smallest possible file with the same number of polygons, but it
would take more work.
