Claim 10:
11. A method for forming a blender that is configured to slice foodstuff placed in the blender, the method comprising:
providing a blender blade, wherein the blender blade comprises:
a central body portion having a first upper surface, a first lower surface, and an aperture, wherein the central body portion is formed entirely of titanium or a titanium alloy; and
a blade wing that extends from the central body portion in a direction, wherein the blade wing is formed entirely of titanium or the titanium alloy and the blade wing has a second upper surface, a second lower surface, and a first thickness therebetween, wherein the blade wing is nitrided subsequent to being formed, thereby covering the second upper surface of the blade wing with a layer of titanium nitride, thereby forming a nitrided surface of the blade wing such that the blade wing has a second thickness between the nitrided surface and the second lower surface that is greater than the first thickness and such that the nitrided surface is coplanar with the first upper surface, thereby forming a common upper surface of the central body portion and the blade wing;

providing a rotatable shaft that has a threaded end; and
coupling, with a fastener, the aperture of the central body portion of the blender blade to the threaded end of the rotatable shaft, wherein when the rotatable shaft rotates about an axis, the blender blade is configured to slice the foodstuff placed in the blender due to the aperture of the central body portion of the blender blade being coupled to the threaded of the rotatable shaft.
