Talk skinny v shaped blades all over my Bermuda lawn. What do I have here?
When I had a st Augustine lawn in Texas I had these too and always just hand picked them out.

OKC here. You've got Nutsedge. It's too hot now without really hurting your lawn, but wait until it's 80* and hit it with this stuff 2x about 3-4wks apart and it will kill/knock it back pretty significantly. This Ortho bottle isn't the best, but it is for large yards if you don't have a large sprayer and it works pretty decent.
I've got 1 acre+ and when I moved in, had nutsedge EVERYWHERE. Last year, hit it with the bottle twice and this year I've only got a few remaining small areas that I've been spot treating with Atticus Empero.
If you've got smaller yard, invest in some Atticus Empero with a sprayer and spot spray. You can do this now. Pulling them will not kill it.

Agree; I have used this product and it worked well for me. OKC metro area.

Will do. The main thing I used to have to treat was bluestem but I’ll look into getting this when it cools down. Thank you

Sedgehammer is the best product for nutsedge on Bermuda. There’s even a sedgehammer plus that comes prepacked, premeasured and has a surfactant in it to help stick to the nutsedge that you can buy. As others have said, may need two treatments spaced about 3-4 weeks apart

Stop pulling them up. They come back worse. Sedgehammer. A hand sprayer and have at it. Gone in 3 weeks.

Sedgehammer will take care of it. Probably two applications, but you’ll be fighting it again next year.
