is a Kungs icescraper. It features replaceable blades. Great idea: when it's spent, just replace the triangular blade.

The problem is, you can only use 3 edges on one side of the blade. When they're spent, you can't use the 2 remaining usable edges on the other side (the third one is angled and serrated, and only work on one side).

This was clearly done for the purpose of selling more blades.

How are there 5 edges on a triangular object?

One of the six edges is angled, making the edge opposite of it unusable for scraping ice.

so five then?

Yes, 6 - 1 = 5

Ah. Thank you
