A curved blade for a delimbing head operable to cut branches from a felled tree is disclosed. The curved blade comprises a cutting rim, at least one portion of which comprises a continuous flange defining a continuous cutting edge, as well as at least one row of ribs that are straight and parallel to each other, extending in the direction of at least one face of the cutting rim from the continuous flange. The continuous cutting edge of the blade having these straight parallel ribs reduces the lateral load of the continuous cutting edge during the operation of cutting branches from a felled tree.
