1. A cutting blade comprising:

  • a one-piece member having;

    (a) a drive mechanism coupling section having a width, a beginning point and an ending point, the drive mechanism coupling section extending from said beginning point radially outwardly to said ending point;

    (b) a deformation section; and

    (c) a cutting section having a width, a beginning point and an ending point, the cutting section extending from said beginning point radially outwardly to said ending point, the deformation section being positioned between the ending point of the drive mechanism coupling section and the beginning point of the cutting section, a portion of the deformation section having a width that is;

    (i) less than the width of the drive mechanism coupling section; and

    (ii) less than the width of the cutting section, the deformation section positioning the drive coupling section and the cutting section in different planes.
