It is a criminal act. Refer Section 319 of the IPC- "Hurt".
Whoever causes bodily pain, disease or infirmity to any person is said to cause hurt.
Section 323. Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt
Whoever, except in the case provided for by section 334,voluntarily causes hurt, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.

Not Blade but even using a stick to cause hurt is a crime as pointed out by Vishal.
