A cutting blade for a morcellator where the blade sidewall includes a bev eled or sloped surface that defines a sharpened edge. The sloped surface pro tects the sharpened edge of the morcellator blade when it is not obvious to a surgeon operating the morcellator that a tenaculum used to grasp anatomica l tissue at the surgical site may have its tissue grasping claws spread to s uch an extent that the claws may contact the cutting blade of the morcellato r. Under such circumstances, the tenaculum will contact the sloped portion o f the inner surface of the cutting blade, rather than the sharpened edge, th ereby minimizing the chance that the sharpened edge will become dull or dama ged.
