Never; better call it "triple concave blade". How's that ?

Keeled is perfect, although my original foliate would have done the trick. But since you don't like foliate, I'm willing to use the alternate Keeled or "de quilla". I don't think the word "quillado" exists in The Language...

Then, we could always create it...Hmmm.: )
Yes, we have "quilhado" over here; from the verb quilhar, which either means to mount a keel or to prejudice someone.
