The Blade of Grass attacking and inflicting the Poisoned debuff on a Target Dummy.
The Blade of Grass is a broadsword crafted using materials from the Underground Jungle. It has a decent size and swing reach, and has a 25*1/4 (25%) chance of inflicting the Poisoned debuff for 7 seconds upon striking enemies.[1] It is also one of the key ingredients in crafting the Night's Edge.
On the 
Desktop version, 
Console version, and 
Mobile version, the Blade of Grass is roughly equal to the Volcano in size, making it one of the largest swords in pre-Hardmode. When swung, it fires a small, green Leaf Blade projectile that flies upwards in a circle, leaving behind a green particle effect resembling leaves. The Leaf Blade projectile has 20 armor penetration,[2] can automatically target enemies within a radius of 9.375 tiles, deals 25% base damage (4 base damage), can pierce one enemy, and has the same chance to inflict Poisoned for the same duration as the sword itself.[3]
Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes
- Note that if gathering the crafting materials for a Blade of Grass in Hardmode, it will be far more difficult to farm Stingers, as the Hornets and Spiked Jungle Slimes that drop them will spawn less often. The enemy that becomes more common during Hardmode is the Moss Hornet, which does not drop Stingers.
Trivia
- The Blade of Grass is a pun which refers to the fact that individual grass leaves are known as "blades" of grass.
- It is the second largest sword in pre-Hardmode, after the Volcano.
- Prior to the 1.2 update, the Blade of Grass appeared to be a grass sawtooth katana (
). This was a reference to the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (literally "Grass-Cutting Sword"), a legendary Japanese sword. The sprite was changed into a larger, double-edged sword with a high increase of grass texture.
