For me kisslicer is a good indicator tool to find out where a stl is
degenerate. This is what it indicates with your STL:

So, what does a 'blade edge' mean?

"blade edge sharp crease" is what it says and mostly results from numerical
errors. (Almost) degenerated triangles will most probably not show up as
'desired' in the sliced path. A closer look at the triangulation (CTRL+1)
unveals what has happend.

Kisslicer indicates those errors, but silently gets around most of them.
Redness of colors indicate severity of errors.
