Bleeding edge
I learned its meaning a little bit by googling.
Found the phrase most commonly used in reference to a new technology.
it would probably mean something of new invention and still risky to use in a way.
but my question essentially is where does this idiom come from?
is it an analogy with a brand new knife, whose edge is sharp enough that make one bleeding? correct?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Hi Sarunnio
I'm not an expert on superhuman characters but I think the phrase is first used with regard to Iron Man. He is a character who is always renewing his abilities and apparently, in 2010, he developed 'bleeding edge armour'
As Mr M says, it probably means no more than 'cutting edge'
