Absurdly Sharp Blade | comment |
An absurdly sharp blade is a bladed weapon with Absurd Cutting Power because it's just that damn sharp. No magic, technology, superpowers, or other type of Applied Phlebotinum required to slice and dice to your heart's content. Such things may have been involved in the production of the blade, but when in use, its cutting power comes from its pure physical sharpness alone. Blades like these almost always result in a Clean Cut — in fact, about the only thing they can't cut is a similarly sharp weapon; lesser weapons, of course, will be sliced, diced and Jullienne fried. Expect to hear some Audible Sharpness (Audible Gleam optional) whenever one of these blades is in use. Frequently used in single stroke battles. Be very afraid if an Absurdly Sharp Blade is in the hands of a swordsman with Implausible Fencing Powers; luckily, the Inverse Law of Sharpness and Accuracy usually ensures that it isn't. Sharpened to a Single Atom is a subtrope popular in Science Fiction settings, where the blade is so sharp that the width of the cutting edge can be measured in atoms or molecules. See Absurdly Sharp Claws when the ASB is a Natural Weapon. |

Adventure Time: In "Slow Love", Jake and Finn's tree-house gets dragged around by a giant snail. At one point it cuts to the bedroom, showing Finn's sword falling over and completely slicing through his bed. Finn's Root Sword cuts through a train's control panel when it's first introduced in "Mystery Train", and yet Jake is able to block it with a wooden sword. Finn's cursed Grass Sword is even sharper and more accurate than the others, being capable of instantly sculpting Finn's face into wax candles and humiliating a group of burglars by cutting out their hairs before they even noticed in its premiere episode. |

The Subtle Knife from His Dark Materials is a blade sharp enough to slice through reality itself. One edge cuts anything material without pause or effort (and often leaving a Wound That Will Not Heal behind); the other cuts more ephemeral things, like the walls between worlds, the bond between the soul and the body, and even souls (and angels) themselves. The only thing it can't cut is love, though in a partial aversion of the usual trope, it doesn't have to be romantic love — the love of a son for his mother works just fine. | |

Worm: Armsmaster, a tinker/martial artist superhero, developed a halberd with a nano-cloud blade that can turn anything to dust. He does more damage to Leviathan with it than the rest of the heroes and villains put together, though the fact that even his blade cannot just cut through Leviathan's body provides a hint of how ludicrously tough the Endbringers truly are. Flechette's superpower lets her imbue any objects she touches with the ability to cut through absolutely anything, flat out breaking the laws of physics to do it. She mostly uses it with projectiles, though after she pulls a Hazy-Feel Turn and changes her cape name to Foil, she starts using a rapier. Chevalier can imbue his weapons with whatever properties from other materials that he likes. His trademark Cannonblade is about twice as long as he is tall, incredibly light, yet still able to nearly match Armsmaster's efforts for how easily it can slice through materials it has no right to. |

The So Bad, It's Good ads for Ginsu knives try to sell the Ginsu 2000 as an Absurdly Sharp Blade that Never Needs Sharpening. Though it's a Deceptively Simple Demonstration, as cutting through an aluminum can (or whatever absurdly hard object they demonstrate the knife slicing through) is a lot easier than many everyday cooking tasks, such as slicing through a winter squash, clearing beef gristle, or boning a fish fillet. | |

Samurai Jack: Jack's ancestral sword fits this bill very well. It can potentially cut through almost anything, but he has come across things that he simply wasn't strong enough to cut. It was a plot point at one time when Jack had to destroy a series of robots Aku supercharged himself - the blade couldn't cut because Jack wasn't strong enough, but when given a bionic arm by the creator of the robots (who was tricked into making said robots for Aku), he's able to decapitate them easily. There was also a rather entertaining episode in which he proved that the sword wasn't everything — he took on an entire army of Mecha-Mooks with a bamboo stick. And cut them in half with it. (When the pieces all merged together into one huge junk monster, he switched back to his sword.) However, the sword definitely is magic and not just "really really sharp". There's an episode where Aku manages to get his hands on it and tries to turn it on Jack, only to discover that because Jack isn't evil, the sword refuses to harm him. The Scotsman's magical Claymore, being just as powerful as Jack's katana, averts the idea that Katanas Are Just Better. Scaramouch the Merciless from Episode XCII has his sinister scimitar sword that slices as cleanly as Jack's and the Scotsman's. While his scimitar is the death of him it's not his most lethal weapon, that would be his tuning dagger, which is not just sharp but can also obliterate anything by vibrating at a high frequency. |

Samurai Shodown II features Cham Cham, resident Cat Girl with her Improbable Weapon, a wooden boomerang used for melee combat. It's considered sharp by the game, enough that (in the original releases) you could trigger the game's Diagonal Cut death animations if you ended a match with a strike from it. Or if you pitched it at an enemy. Her claws work the same, too. 'Oh! How dangerous a boomerang is!' | |

X-Men: Wolverine has adamantium claws in his hands. Very, very sharp adamantium claws. There are very few things that they can't cut. He lampshades this in the first issue of Wolverine (1988)note well before the "bone claws" retcon: Similarly, X-23 and her sister Honey Badger, being cloned from Wolverine, also have adamantium claws (two for Laura, one for Honey Badger). Silver Samurai has a sword that can cut anything short of adamantium. However, it turns out that he is a mutant who generates an energy field that actually does the deed and he can channel it through anything. Should you get your hands on one of his swords, you will find out the hard way that it can't cut butter in any hand but his — and it'll probably be your last thought as he makes Ludicrous Gibs of you with literally anything he can get his hands on. Most adaptations omit this (in The Wolverine, superheated adamantium has more cutting power than just adamantium, giving him the edge over Logan) or just don't mention it. X-Men Red (2022): Purity, sword of the immortal Mutant White Sword is revealed to be imbued with "deep magic" that essentially makes it sharpness incarnate. In the right place, in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, it can cut through reality. |

Monster Hunter: The series has plenty of impressive edged weapons, but the most impressive is the humble carving knife. These things are so sharp that it takes an equal amount of effort to carve a hunk of meat off a soft herbivore as it does removing diamond-hard scales from a kaiju-sized Elder Dragon, and unlike the sword made with that dragon's teeth the knife never even needs sharpening. According to background lore, these knives are made of an Ancient Civilization alloy, and the means to produce more is a Lost Technology. A full-sized weapon would be absurdly powerful, but the stuff is so rare these knives already technically belong to the guild, and Hunters are expected to return them when they retire, or at least hand them down to their apprentice. In Monster Hunter Generations, the Glavenus, a large theropod-like Brute Wyvern, plays with this trope. Its sword-like tail is shown to be so sharp that it neatly slices the stems off of plants that it walks by. Its tail is so hard that it can only be cut off when glowing molten hot—and even then the severed tail will dramatically fly off and slice into the ground, sticking up. However, a Glavenus must constantly use its whetstone-like mouth to sharpen its tail, lest it go dull. |

Bleach: The standard Zanpakuto, being a sword forged from the user's own soul, can slice through just about anything provided that the wielder has enough spirit energy. Oetsu Nimaiya crafted Sayafushi, a blade with incredible cutting power that cannot chip due to its impossibly smooth blade. At the same time, it would destroy any traditional sheath and must be carried in a backpack filled with a thick jelly. Because of this, Nimaiya considers Sayafushi to be a failure, since it fails to meet the basic definition of a sword. |

Darkstalkers has Bishamon's ancient blade, Kien. The sword was originally forged because talented warriors were frustrated that their swords had dulled irreparably. Thus Kien was crafted — using forbidden techniques — in such a way that it actually became sharper the more it was used, meaning a stronger blade from multiple battles. However, Kien eventually fell into the presence of the demonic Hannya, "the armour of hate", and was subsequently corrupted, gaining a thirst for blood... | |

The Hobbit: Gandalf's Glamdring beheads a goblin so cleanly that the head doesn't budge from the now-stalled goblin — complete with eyes still moving — until Gandalf nudges it, causing it to fall. Since Thorin's Orcrist and Bilbo's small Sting come from the same elven source in Gondolin, they can be assumed to share the same quality. This is true in the book as well; Bilbo demonstrates Sting to Frodo by thrusting it deep into a wooden beam with little effort. Elvenking Thranduil's elven katana also qualifies, as he beheads an orc he is interrogating in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug with one swipe, which results in Legolas holding the severed head while the orc's body crumples to the floor. In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Thranduil easily decapitates several orcs who get stuck in the antlers of his giant stag with just a single stroke. He also effortlessly slices through Tauriel's well-seasoned bow. |

Naruto: The Sword of Kusanagi which is the blade that Orochimaru uses. It's sharp enough to cut through diamonds and even damage Monkey King Enma in his Adamantine Staff Form. The only thing it failed to damage is the Version 2, Four Tailed form that Naruto Uzumaki had. We also have Sasuke's version. While it's no sharper than an ordinary sword, it becomes nearly unblockable when he charges Chidori through it. With it, he can cut through kunai like butter. When he tries to use it against Killer Bee, he learns the hard way that lightning-infused weapons are commonly used by Cloud Ninjas and gets countered pretty hard by Bee's own blades. It’s stated that adding Lightning or Wind Release chakra to a blade can increase its cutting power. Then we have the blades Susano'o uses. Madara's shown to be sharp enough and strong enough to break through Gaara's sand, as well as in its Perfect Form bisect two mountains in a single swing. |

In Monster Hunter Generations, the Glavenus, a large theropod-like Brute Wyvern, plays with this trope. Its sword-like tail is shown to be so sharp that it neatly slices the stems off of plants that it walks by. Its tail is so hard that it can only be cut off when glowing molten hot—and even then the severed tail will dramatically fly off and slice into the ground, sticking up. However, a Glavenus must constantly use its whetstone-like mouth to sharpen its tail, lest it go dull. | |

He stabs Steve Trevor with one and manages to cut Diana's indestructible lasso, but is disarmed in short order.

Starting in the New 52's Wonder Woman (2011) Diana has a sword forged by the god Hephaestus that is said to be so sharp it can cut the electrons off of an atom. She even splits an atom with it causing an atomic explosion. |

Happens several times in Highlander. Particularly with Duncan. He chops a heavy oak desk clean in two with his katana, and a one point beheads an opponent with a fairly light sword with little more than a few inches of movement. The samurai he got his sword from also used it to cleanly slice another sword in two as easy as if were a piece of bamboo.note There is some Truth in Television to this: the sword that gets broken is made of low-quality steel which can be rather brittle, while Duncan's katana is made of high-quality "folded" steel. If a strong steel blade strikes a brittle one in a weak place, the brittle blade can break just as shown. Though in general there seems to be something about Immortals that makes the swords they wield have more cutting power than they should. | |

In Toriko, kitchen knives made by the master sharpener Melk can't be bought without a license, to prevent unskilled users from accidentally injuring themselves. This culminates in what could possibly be the best example of this trope, when Melk the 2nd completes Komatsu's new knife. A light swing of it proceeds to make a gigantic gash in the mountain. It didn't come in contact with anything. | |

Of course each one also contains a Nail from the Crucifixion in the hilt and it's suggested (although not verified) in Peace Talks that each one also is powered by its own actual Angel, in a setting where an Archangel makes it clear that he can literally make and unmake galaxies with little effort. | |

The Dresden Files: The Warden's specially enchanted swords, which cut through demons, summoned constructs, and enchantments with ease. Their magical abilities do seem to be considerably more potent than their physical ones, however, as Word of God suggests that their physical sharpness is basically just because they're really well-made swords. Played straight with the Knights of the Cross' holy blades. One cut right through a steel door. Of course each one also contains a Nail from the Crucifixion in the hilt and it's suggested (although not verified) in Peace Talks that each one also is powered by its own actual Angel, in a setting where an Archangel makes it clear that he can literally make and unmake galaxies with little effort. |

SCP Foundation: SCP-585 is a pencil sharpener that infinitely sharpens the points of graphite pencils. To the point of their being able to penetrate steel. And bedrock. And split atoms. SCP-143's petals can easily slice through flesh if mishandled. SCP-6572 was a sword that could cut through anything, regardless of speed or friction. During transport, it was accidentally dropped into the ground, and during the next few years, it began soaring through the earth, occasionally appearing out of the ground causing mass devastation. As of 2017 it has left the Earth's gravity well and is now just space junk. |

The Whateley Universe stories have a few of these. The magical sword Destiny's Wave, wielded by The Handmaid Of The Tao (a superheroine codenamed Bladedancer). In the hands of the rightful user, it can cut through anything (even unstoppable superhuman bricks), if the Tao requires it. At other times, it is as blunt and harmless as you'd expect of a blade made of white jade. And then there's Toni's mithril Kukri, Fey's scimitar Malachim's Feather, and Hank's PK shortswords. | |

There are referents to this feat in both Norse and Irish mythology, the trick being attributed to both Finn McCool and to King Olaf of Norway when in a dispute with the King of Sweden over ownership of an island, they diced for it. The Swedish king rolled two sixes, knowing this was unlikely to be beaten. Olaf rolled two dice, one coming down as a six, and the second induced to come down as a winning seven due to the intervention of his sword-blade slicing the dice in half. This was referenced by Terry Pratchett in the Discworld (See Literature, above.) | |

Every katana forged by Luke in The Sacred Blacksmith seems to be capable of cutting through most things, such as a two-handed sword or another katana that was swung at it, meaning it can cut through other swords with no force behind it at all. His magically forged katanas are offset by their fragility, but they still cut through the insanely overpowered demon swords. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth's Masamune is often portrayed as being absurdly sharp, often accompanied with Audible Sharpness. In one scene in Crisis Core where he's fighting Angeal and Genesis, Sephiroth tears apart a gigantic cannon by slicing through the barrel with Sword Lines from the blade during the fight. That's one bad-ass sword. In the Remake he uses it to cut through the Whispers creating a portal, in order to carve a path for Cloud and his allies to destroy fate. Cloud's BFS in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Final Fantasy VII Remake is capable of slicing through steel and concrete without losing their edge. |

In the Final Fantasy XVI side quest, "Blacksmith's Blues II", a single-edged sword from distant lands catches the titular blacksmith's eye. The metal isn't anything special, but he recognizes that the edge is the sharpest thing he's ever seen and could cleanly split a man in half. A weapon collector who bought the blade explains that it was forged by a school of swordsmanship from the Outer Isles who hone their blades with special whetstones until they're incredibly sharp but extremely fragile, so It Only Works Once before breaking. | |

Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman features a spear so sharp that if you were to prick yourself with it, your finger would begin to bleed about two inches before the point appeared to reach your finger. In fact, when your finger starts to bleed, the spear point had penetrated your skin two inches ago, but was so thin it slipped between the atoms of your finger without causing any damage. | |

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay allows runesmiths to create more Runefangs by adding the master rune of Alaric the Mad (the smith of the original Runefangs) to weapons. To keep this from being overpowered, creating a new Runefang can only be done by a master runesmith (a tertiary career), will take years for a Player Character even without failing any checks (making a sword that can become an absurdly sharp blade for a single blow is easier, taking a few days' off-time), and it's explicitly verboten for a runesmith to ever create two weapons with identical runes on them (that Alaric did this is why he's called 'the Mad'), and master runes occupy all slots on a weapon. | |

Bro's swords in Homestuck have cut through wooden ventriloquist's dummies, (extremely shitty) swords, meteors and the design on Dave's shirt without cutting the shirt in one stroke. Later he tops the record once more, by cutting into the Beat Mesa, which otherwise requires Infinity Plus One Magical Needles to do. Presumably, Dirk's sword is capable of the same thing since he is Bro. It's revealed that this sword is somehow a mythical artifact of the Cherubs which probably explains it. | |

The swords given to the warriors in the unnamed organization in Claymore. This is lampshaded at one point when Miria says something along the lines of "Have you ever wondered why our swords never chip or dull, no matter how hard we swing or how hard the surface we hit? What exactly are they made of? The material can't be from this continent and I've looked everywhere." Priscilla somehow consumed her own sword when she Awakened, and is able to form it again whenever she feels like swordfighting. | |

While Samurai Champloo contains more typical examples with swords, the blade on Umanosuke's kusarigama really takes the cake, being able to cut clear through rocks and thick wooden support beams without even slowing down. It also makes such an insanely loud noise when swung through the air that you'd think it's regularly breaking the sound barrier. Ultimately, this ends up completely biting him in the ass, as Mugen is able to swing the blade back at him and even without a huge amount of force behind it the thing manages to cut his head off. | |

Ninja Assassin has this on every blade we ever get to see. The swords can cut a man in half, and on one occasion, the protagonist is seen slicing open a wooden floor with his kusarigama. The shuriken are also pretty sharp, able to slice a man's head in half or cut off two arms at once, without changing trajectory. The movie actually spends a lot of scenes showing ninja sharpening their blades. | |

When the smith asks Corum to name it, Corum gets a vision of the sinister Black Sword and is compelled to name the weapon "Traitor". Traitor can cut through Fhoi Myore gods and the Chaos armor of Prince Gaynor the Damned, like they were nothing. Ultimately Traitor will cut through Corum's unique double-layer chainmail to impale him through the heart. | |

In the Metal Gear universe: Raiden gets one in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Part of the gameplay mechanics involve Raiden being able to slice Humongous Mecha into pieces. All High-Frequency swords in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, while not conventionally absurdly sharp, can slice through almost anything thanks to their vibration destabilizing the molecules of materials they impact on. Jetstream Sam's Murasama, however, was made from an authentic Muramasa, meaning it's both absurdly sharp conventionally plus augmented with Vibro Weapon power. It slices Raiden's cyborg arm off with ease, and it's the only weapon capable of damaging Armstrong's nanomachine armor, which can absorb the mecha-tossing Raiden's blows without a scratch. |

Fallout: New Vegas — Dead Money: The Sierra Madre Casino's kitchen staff believed that the Cosmic knives they were supplied were too sharp for their needs. Sure, they could slice through a T-bone steak with no problem, but they'd cut through their cutting boards and their own fingers just as easily.Their effectiveness in combat, though, does not meet the description, because they've spent 200 years in a corrosive, toxic miasma. The chemicals probably dulled them somewhat; however, they're still very effective limb loppers, which is good in an environment where most enemies are best dealt with by lopping off a limb. You can actually clean the blades; still not quite the trope, but close—they become twice as good at cutting off limbs. | |

The Everway RPG had among its legendary artifacts a sword named the "The Edge of Light and Darkness", which was created to exemplify "the dividing line between Is and Is Not". The Edge of Light and Darkness could cut anything its owner could conceive of cutting, and could wield the blade with sufficient skill to hit. In addition to the relatively mundane task of doing a Clean Cut through any physical substance, known examples include cutting through the fabric of space-time to create portals between alternate universes, killing an opponent by cutting his soul free of his body (without actually leaving any physical wounds on his body), and destroying a pocket universe by slicing the substance of reality into its fundamental elemental components. | |

Schlock Mercenary: Tailor's scissors are able to sever limbs and cut through body armour. Justified given that a) he was originally designed to use his tools to create body armour, and b) the Schlockiverse is the home of serious overengineering. | |

System Shock 2: The Crystal Shard is, well a really sharp and spiky crystal shard. It's the most powerful melee weapon in the game, and it's described as being almost fractal (i.e. the spikes are made out of smaller spikes, which are made out of smaller spikes, and so on.) | |

Xenoblade Chronicles: Xenoblade Chronicles 1: The Monado Laser Blade is the only weapon strong enough to cut through the Mechon armor. Unfortunately, the hero Dunban was crippled using it, so when the Mechon comes again, Shulk has to take it up. He has much higher compatibility with it, but the Mechon have created new Faced Mechon who are immune to the Monado. This is because the Faces are converted Homs, and the Monado is bound to be unable to hurt Homs. Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Noah wields the traditional red Laser Blade required of a hero in this series, but his laser sword is actually the sheath. The outer blade can disassemble into a gauntlet for his left arm and reveal Lucky Seven, a masterwork katana so sharp that it can bisect the otherwise indestructible Flame Clocks with a single slice. Noah normally keeps Lucky Seven contained inside his usual sword because it's far too deadly for his liking. His Evil Counterpart has a similar sword but isn't shy about using the katana as his main weapon. It is the Sword of the End, forged of metal from Origin. It can cut through anything because, in essence, it is made of the only real material in the world. The prequel DLC adds a few extra ones: A's Blade, Rex's twin Blades, and Shulk's Blade can all cut through Flame Clocks just like Noah's. It is probably not a coincidence that these are all Monados, either born directly from an Aegis core crystal (A's Blade comes from Ontos, Rex's come from Pneuma) or is a replica of the same. Matthew's gauntlets are also revealed to have Pneuma's core crystal hidden inside them, and they eventually become the transforming sheath of Noah's Blade. It's also strongly implied that the Sword of the End has Logos' core crystal. |

In Ringworld, the variable sword, a piece of monomolecular wire held taut by a stasis field can cut anything. A glowing red ball marks the extended tip of the wire/blade to protect the user. There's also "shadowsquare wire", which is monomolecular wire without the stasis field. It's even more dangerous since it's too thin to be visible. |

Holo-Chronicles has the twin katanas of Ayame Nakiri, Asura and Rasetsu. Their cutting power against mundane objects is mostly due to their expert craftsmanship and Ayame's ridiculous natural strength as a demon that can then be further enhanced through invoking her Demon Trait. What makes them especially deadly in this setting (which has weapons such as Calli's scythe and Enma's katana, which can straight up kill anything in the right circumstances due to the weapons' inherent powers) is that they were forged in Makai, granting them the ability to cut basically anything of supernatural origin just as well as anything mundane, if not better, due to their affinity towards magic. This even includes things without material form, such as light or spirits. | |

Azure Striker Gunvolt 3: Discussed in one of the Chats by Apollo and Gunvolt about Kirin's staff sword, which in-story and in-gameplay has no problem dicing through the solid metal of advanced combat mechs, with them wondering how it was made to be so sharp. Kirin's response indicates it's not absurdly sharp but rather absurdly tough because that's the only way it can handle the abuse she puts it through. Apollo and GV are left stunned by the unsaid implication that the thin-framed Kirin herself is just that naturally strong on her own. | |

Played with in Slayers with the Blast Sword. It was so sharp you couldn't put it in a sheath without cutting it in half. It was so sharp it was useless so they had to find someone to cast some magic on it to dull the blade. But even the dulled blade still fits this trope. | |

In Super Robot Wars, there is nothing that Sanger Zonvolt's Zankantou/Colossal Blade cannot cut. It achieves this by having thrusters on the non-bladed side, allowing it to keep cutting even when it should get lodged into its target. This allows it to cut through huge battleships, hence the name "Zankantou", but it still breaks when it tries to cut into Giganscudo's Unobtainium armor. The Type 3 blade, however, is made of liquid metal and Runs on Badassoleum, making it more of an example of this trope. | |

Whatever that thing's made of, it's sharp enough to cut through the Vision's vibranium body like tissue paper. Thanos uses a double-bladed sword in Avengers: Endgame likely made of the same metal as Corvus Glaive's blade. He uses it to hack Captain America's vibranium shield to pieces. |

Shardblades in The Stormlight Archive are an interesting variation. They are explicitly magical weapons and can slice through any non-magical, inorganic material — stone, metal, etc — without slowing. They only things they don't cut are other Shardblades, Shardplate, aluminum note Aluminum's anti-magic properties counteract the magic properties of a Shardblade. The Blade is still a large piece of metal, and will cut aluminum "only" as well as a mundane sword, so, for example, a thin sheet of aluminum will not be sufficient to stop the blade, and living flesh. Blades simply pass through living things without marking them, and "kills" the part of the body it passes through, including killing them if the spine is hit. Plus their eyes burn out. It's said a few times that the blade cuts the soul, and Word of God has confirmed that Shardblade wounds work by cutting off a chunk of the targets Spiritweb (although there are ways to magically heal such wounds). Adolin wonders why Shardblades were made because a giant sword that can cut through anything is clearly overkill in normal combat. Then he fights giant stone golems called Thunderclasts and realizes that while Shardblades are overkill on flesh, they're perfect for cutting through a giant monster made of stone. In Words of Radiance, at the conclusion of the novel, it is revealed that Shardblades are the tangible bodies of spren who were once bonded to the Knights Radiant. The "dead" spren created from broken oaths form the normal Shardblades, while a living spren bonded with a Knight who has sworn the Third Ideal can form into any metal weapon or tool the Knight needs: sword, shield, dagger, spear, even blunt weapons like hammers or staves. Lift has her spren form a Shardfork so she can eat pancakes, only to discover that it's really hard to eat with a fork that cuts through her food effortlessly. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Weapons made of adamantine bypass most objects' hardness — meaning that, essentially, they're so sharp that they can cut steel (hardness 10) as easily as paper or cloth (hardness zero). Of course, this ability only works on objects up to hardness 20, meaning that adamantine (hardness 20) cannot cut itself. The major artifact sword Angelwing Razor is so sharp, it can cut through literally anything, bypassing all forms of hardness and damage reduction. This includes barriers of pure magic that have no actual material substance. There is also the Vorpal enchantment (inspired by Carroll's Jabberwocky) which can be added onto any sword. It makes the blade in question so sharp that upon a successful Critical Hit, it automatically severs the head of whatever it hit in a single blow (in 5th Edition, some creatures are immune to this, either because their neck is too thick or they don't have a real neck, in which case they "merely" take a lot of bonus damage). The Sword of Sharpness is another magical blade that, as its name implies, is really, really sharp. Such blades automatically deal maximum weapon damage on a hit and on a crit slices off a random body part of the target. |

Pacific Rim: Gipsy Danger's retractable arm blade. It can slice through a Kaiju with very little effort. The same kaiju can withstand multiple shots from a house-sized plasma cannon. It is practically a Story-Breaker Power and is conveniently forgotten by Mako until the heroes have no other options. Striker Eureka's blades used in the finale inflict major wounds on Slattern, the Category Five Kaiju that was barely scorched by a multi-megaton nuclear detonation at a range of meters. |

Dwarf Fortress has adamantine blades that are so sharp they cut through giant elephants like they are butter. A proper look at the raws reveals that the sharpest possible edge one can give an adamantine weapon is ten times as sharp as the best possible edge a steel weapon can be given. The latter can already decapitate a giant bronze statue in one swing in skilled hands; the former can do without the "skilled hands" part and will tear anything into bloody confetti even when given to a weakling that's never trained a day in his life. | |

X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Wolverine's claws, which are coated in adamantium. Shortly after he receives his adamantium infusion, he slices up several items in a farmhouse bathroom (including a porcelain sink) with his now impossibly sharp claws, despite applying what appears to be no more than the force required to move an unrestrained arm. Wade Wilson's katanas. The Wolverine: The heirloom katana that Yukio brings with her to meet Logan is able to cleanly slice barstool legs and a beer bottle, without harming the man on the stool or the guy holding the beer bottle. Ichir� Yashida's samurai swords which actually cut through Wolverine's claws. Deadpool (2016): Deadpool's katanas are able to cut through anything he uses them on in the movie with no effort on his part, with the only exception being the axes Ajax uses against him. X-Men: Apocalypse: Psylocke's psionic blade can slice through a car as if it were a hot knife cutting butter. |

In Berserk, Guts receives a sword from the master blacksmith Godo shortly after the Eclipse which proves itself capable of cleanly cutting through the blade of another sword and the tip of an anvil in a single stroke. However, an absurdly sharp sword of merely ordinary size doesn't suit Guts' style, and it doesn't last a single fight. Subverted with Guts' BFS that Godo gives him after that. While the Dragonslayer does far better and cleaves through nearly anything, it's really because the blade is insanely heavy (400 lbs of solid iron, for the record) and Guts is just that strong to swing it with any manner of efficiency. In fact, Godo calls it absurdly dull. |

Machetes in Walk Hard. They have to be sharp to cut a person in half and impressively sharp to do so on accident, but it's reaching into the realm of the absurdly sharp when you can cut yourself in half by accident. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender Sokka's "space sword". Its sharpness doesn't come up that often, but during the invasion, he cuts through a ballista in one swing. In the finale, to stop fire benders, he throws the sword and even without any weight backing it up, it cleanly slices through a sturdy metal platform. Moments before that, it also works against him, when his attempt to stop a fall by stabbing the hull of the airship just results in the sword shearing through the metal until they reach the bottom and keep falling. Much earlier in the series, in "The Blue Spirit," the titular masked spirit uses dual Dao sabres to cut right through the chains holding Aang captive. In a single stroke. |

In The Traitor Son Cycle: The Red Knight's ghiavarina (a heavy spear), can cut through anything as easily as it does through air. The first time he uses it, he accidentally buries it blade-deep in solid rock because he didn't feel any resistance. Tom Lachlan's sword has been made by the same dragon who's created Red Knight's spear, and as such has the same qualities. |

In Grenadier — The Smiling Senshi, the hero, a swordsman, has a(n impractically) long katana, sharp enough to slice an incoming artillery shell in half (without triggering the fuse,) and cut a giant boulder clean in half, albeit with assistance from the heroine's pistol (four rounds to the back of the blade at the moment of contact, to propel it into the rock.) | |

In Interesting Times, when a small army of samurai demonstrate their absurdly sharp blades by throwing silk cloths in the air and slicing them in two, a reference to the old Saladin/Richard legend. Combat Pragmatist Cohen the Barbarian claims he can do the same with his ancient notched sword — then, while they're all looking up at the handkerchief, he and his men decapitate nine of them. In The Last Hero, however, Cohen uses the same sword to roll a seven with a six-sided die by slicing the die in half while it's in the air, so his sword must be quite sharp. See the example under "Myths & Religion" below. The whole extended sequence is a Shout-Out / Continuity Nod to the original use of this device in The Colour of Magic, where the Lady outwits Fate as her die flipped gently onto a point, spun round, and came down a seven. | |

An episode of Warehouse 13 revolved around the threat of the assembly of the Masamune. The sword was so sharp, it could cut through light, rendering the user invisible. That was clearly a bit of hyperbole though, since that function didn't work until the tsuba was reattached. That said, the sword is absurdly sharp in its own right, as it was able to slice through a computer monitor and stab a man's shoulder effortlessly. | |

In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children/Complete, Sephiroth's Masamune and Cloud's Fusion Swords are capable of not only slashing cleanly through massive pieces of concrete buildings that are far larger than the swords themselves (which is saying something), but setting the edges of the cut concrete on fire. Of course, the swords, despite repeated clashing, never damage each other. | |

The Star Saber in Transformers: Prime can cut through an entire mountain with little effort (as can its evil counterpart, the Dark Star Saber). Part of that is the large sheets of Hard Light it shoots, rather than its actual cutting edges (not that it isn't Absurdly Sharp). It's also a mystical relic once wielded by one of the Thirteen, so its ability to slice through things isn't entirely based in science. The Dark Star Saber was created using one such relic and a large chunk of Dark Energon (which is basically the blood of the devil), giving it similar properties. | |

Subverted in the Nova episode "Secrets of the Viking Sword". A swordsman cleanly chops a rolled-up bamboo mat in half with a wickedly sharp katana, but then does the exact same thing with a European broadsword and demonstrates afterwards that it has little edge at all. The trick has more to do with the swordsman's skill than the actual sharpness of the sword. | |

Lex Luthor crafted a sword that gives off red sunlight. It was not particularly sharp or sturdy, but it could cut Superman because of the red sun radiance. In Escape from the Phantom Zone, villain Magog boasts that "[his] lance cuts through all mortal matter." In The Super-Revenge of Lex Luthor, several scientists run several tests on a Kryptonian sword, finding out it can slice through steel beams and cut diamonds into half like hot butter. |

Xenoblade Chronicles 1: The Monado Laser Blade is the only weapon strong enough to cut through the Mechon armor. Unfortunately, the hero Dunban was crippled using it, so when the Mechon comes again, Shulk has to take it up. He has much higher compatibility with it, but the Mechon have created new Faced Mechon who are immune to the Monado. This is because the Faces are converted Homs, and the Monado is bound to be unable to hurt Homs. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Noah wields the traditional red Laser Blade required of a hero in this series, but his laser sword is actually the sheath. The outer blade can disassemble into a gauntlet for his left arm and reveal Lucky Seven, a masterwork katana so sharp that it can bisect the otherwise indestructible Flame Clocks with a single slice. Noah normally keeps Lucky Seven contained inside his usual sword because it's far too deadly for his liking. His Evil Counterpart has a similar sword but isn't shy about using the katana as his main weapon. It is the Sword of the End, forged of metal from Origin. It can cut through anything because, in essence, it is made of the only real material in the world. The prequel DLC adds a few extra ones: A's Blade, Rex's twin Blades, and Shulk's Blade can all cut through Flame Clocks just like Noah's. It is probably not a coincidence that these are all Monados, either born directly from an Aegis core crystal (A's Blade comes from Ontos, Rex's come from Pneuma) or is a replica of the same. Matthew's gauntlets are also revealed to have Pneuma's core crystal hidden inside them, and they eventually become the transforming sheath of Noah's Blade. It's also strongly implied that the Sword of the End has Logos' core crystal. |

Both the scythe and the sword of Death, especially in Hogfather. The edges of these weapons glow blue because of the air molecules being sliced in half all the time. The sharpness even extends a few inches beyond the blade due to the impossible aura of sharpness. In Reaper Man, Death sharpens his scythe on progressively finer materials, from silk, to spider's web, to sunlight, and then tests it by cutting a sentence Miss Flitworth is speaking into its individual words. | |

The Wheel of Time series brings us Power-wrought blades. They can cleave through metal armor and the tough flesh of a Trolloc with limited resistance. Lan notes that they never need to be sharpened though some men have been known to try, resulting in wearing a whetstone to nothing for no good reason. | |

DC Extended Universe: Diana/Wonder Woman's swords (the Godkiller in her first solo film and the Sword of Athena in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League) which were made by the Gods of Olympus have no issue cutting through such things as World War I German rifles, a Kryptonian monstrosity's arm, a giant statue's head and Parademons. In Aquaman, tridents and swords made of Atlantean steel can go through ultra-dense Atlantean flesh and even Atlantean power armour like it was nothing, to say nothing of tech made by surface-dwellers. |

A Song of Ice and Fire has several examples: Blades of Valyrian steel are far sharper and stronger than even the best mundane steel. Forging the metal is a magical process that has become Lost Technology after the fall of Valyria and only a few smiths still know how to re-purpose it. It has a smoky, rippled appearance that resembles Damascus Steel. It's also the only metal that's a match for a White Walker and their weapons (the only other thing that can slay a White Walker is a naturally-occurring substance that's known to be sharp but not to the extent of this trope: dragonglass, what we know as obsidian). Dawn, the ancestral blade of House Dayne. The blade was forged from meteoric iron and is hinted to be of extraordinary quality. Arthur Dayne, the Sword in the Morning, notably used it to hack a foe's sword to bits, then chivalrously allowing him to retrieve another sword before slaying him. Jaime Lannister also recalls that the sword cut through his tunic and into the flesh beneath when Dayne tapped it against his shoulder to knight him. One of the mountain clansmen Tyrion employs from the Vale, Shagga, brags about the sharpness of his blades. Though clearly a humorous exaggeration, he's still a dangerous warrior. |

Devil May Cry: Word of God says that Dante's blade is capable of slicing absolutely anything in the physical plane. Not very convincing after the series' later graphical pushes (the rust and nicks become more pronounced). Gameplay and Story Segregation is in effect as it still will take several hacks to down any foe. The Rebellion is upstaged by that of the Yamato, Vergil's trademark sword, which is capable of cutting through dimensions. Although, it being able to cut through absolutely everything doesn't apply during gameplay. Otherwise, it would be even more OP. Exaggerated in Devil May Cry 5, when it becomes sharp enough to cut through concepts. |

Parodied in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, during a yonkoma-style omake (seen in the 2nd anime ending: Shigure sharpens a kitchen knife for Miu, which ends up cutting through the radish, cutting board, and about three feet of counter/cabinet. Shigure sliced tonfas, sticks, steel sai and then the enemies' clothes with a wooden spoon. Played straight with Shigure's Nihontou, which can cut through anything. |

Several of the swords in One Piece are like this. Dracule Mihawk's Black Sword, for instance, is so sharp that it once cut a wall of ice in half, length-wise. And that was without using Haki, the power in the One Piece world that lets someone's weapons affect nearly anything. Roronoa Zoro had swords like this too, even before the Time Skip when he got infinitely better. He learned how to cut through cannonballs and a man made entirely out of swords. This partially has to do with how good Zoro is, and because the three different swords he uses are all at least partially magical. A flashback during Zoro's time at his dojo has his sensei explain that inverting this trope is also necessary to play it straight; only the very best swordsman can choose whether or not they want to cut something. He demonstrates this by purposely failing to cut a piece of paper. During Zoro's battle against Mr. 1 in Alabasta, he shows that he's mastered this aspect by running his sword through some palm leaves- and doing no damage. |

The legendary Green Destiny sword in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is capable of slicing through virtually any other weapon, and apparently never gets chipped or cracked, regardless of how often it gets used. Amusingly, in one of the later fight scenes, there is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot that clearly shows the prop sword to have been severely deformed in the action sequence. | |

The Whiteblade is made from chaos and will cut through most things like butter. If you do not know how to properly handle it, just touching the blade will cost you fingers or even a hand. |

The mid-'90s anime Chūka Ichiban! (Cooking Master Boy) has Leon, one of the main characters, in possession of a legendary set of seven cooking knives called the Seven Star Knives. The smallest is the size of a fruit knife while the largest is borderline BFS to prepare a cow or a bull. They're all so sharp that one of it was once used to cut open a fish's ovary, extract all the eggs, and then without any surgery, close the wound again due to the extremely clean cut it was made, and the fish is released back to water without so much of a scratch. This is consistent with the wielder's Actual Pacifist outlook, despite his Face of a Thug. | |

Unable to close the distance in time, Nanao unconsciously wills her sword to cut through space and time itself and reach her target before the curse from the eye can strike her, severing that hand at the wrist—an Unblockable Attack constituting the invention of the eponymous Seventh Spellblade. | |

Temeraire: Laurence receives an antique dao sword as a gift in Throne of Jade. He assumes it to be a ceremonial piece, but when he's stuck in a battle and uses it in a moment of desperation, it cuts his opponent's head off without any resistance. | |

Game of Thrones: Any blade made from Valyrian steel, as the forging secrets (long since lost) allow them to keep their edge way longer than regular steel. Dark Sister (which is owned by Daemon Targaryen in House of the Dragon) was this even more than most Valyrian steel weapons, since it was designed for Visenya, and was therefore skinnier and more flexible than the typical broad or longsword, and thus had to rely on sharpness for cutting power more than raw force. It was not, however, a rapier like Arya's Needle. The crystal blades of the White Walkers shatter regular steel on contact and slice through armour with ease. |

Blood Bond, Blood Omen Series: The sharpness of the Lotus Blade is more of an Informed Attribute. While it can obviously take any form that Ron likes while he's wielding it, when Kim AKA the Scarred Warrior wields it, it becomes simply a "very hard, very sharp" sword, one "so perfect that — if one of the men of the school had been so blasphemous as to try — it could easily be shaved with." And this description comes from Sensei, who has surely seen his share of swords. On the other hand, we never see it cut anything that an ordinary sword couldn't cut, at least not when it's in sword form. | |

In The Last Angel: Baleblades have forcefield cutting edges that will tear through molecular bonds. Nemesis uses a starship-scale version by charging up her Wave-Motion Gun and ramming a Compact Chariot with the tip of the barrel instead of firing. The hole in reality the weapon creates tears straight through 6 kilometers of warship. |

The poem Jabberwocky from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There has the hero use his vorpal sword to take down the Jabberwock in two strokes. While Carroll refused to clarify what "vorpal" meant, popular Fanon is that it means "sharp", an interpretation codified by Gary Gygax when he included the head-lopping Vorpal Sword in Dungeons & Dragons. Ever since, Vorpal Swords have made appearances in numerous video games as weapons with Absurd Cutting Power, often with the ability to inflict a One-Hit Kill. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The background information frequently describes bladed weapons as having "Monomolecular edges", especially on the chainswords and power swords used by Adeptus Astartes and the various edged weapons used by the Aeldari. The blades of the phase swords used by Imperial Callidus Assassins slip in and out of realspace, allowing them to cut through absolutely anything, from the thickest armour to the most sophisticated of force fields. The lightning claws melded to the hands of a Chaos Warp Talon are described as being spirit-sharp. These claws are so sharp that they are even capable of slicing through the veil between the Immaterium and the physical universe. The Adeptus Mechanicus relic weapon known as The Red Axe is a massive Omnissian axe whose cutting edge was made with a unique starmetal that emits a crimson glow. The weapon is said to be able to cleave through even the toughest material, something the 8th Edition Warhammer 40,000 rules represent by giving The Red Axe the highest Armour Penetration value of any weapon available to an Adeptus Mechanicus army. The blessed Blade of Admonition is a relic of the Adepta Sororitas and is the very sword used by Saint Dominica to remove the head of Goge Vandire. The silver blade of this sacred weapon is razor-sharp and has taken the lives of countless heretics since. The 8th Edition Chapter Approved rules for the Blade of Admonition give it superior Strength and Damage compared to regular power swords. |

Warhammer has the Runefangs, dwarven-made swords that are wickedly sharp. There are twelve of them, each made for one of the Elector-Counts of the Empire. None of the people the swords were made for lived long enough to use them, because the dwarves wanted them to be perfect and it took longer than a human lifetime for the smith to make them all. The descendants of the original intended owners use them just fine. | |

Throughout the Final Fantasy series: Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth's Masamune is often portrayed as being absurdly sharp, often accompanied with Audible Sharpness. In one scene in Crisis Core where he's fighting Angeal and Genesis, Sephiroth tears apart a gigantic cannon by slicing through the barrel with Sword Lines from the blade during the fight. That's one bad-ass sword. In the Remake he uses it to cut through the Whispers creating a portal, in order to carve a path for Cloud and his allies to destroy fate. Cloud's BFS in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Final Fantasy VII Remake is capable of slicing through steel and concrete without losing their edge. Odin's One-Hit Kill attack cuts (Zantetsuken) all monsters on the battlefield in half. In Final Fantasy VIII, Seifer cuts Odin in half. Which caused the Zantetsuken to go spinning off into the sky, cutting a hole clean into another dimension. Specifically, the Interdimensional Rift from Final Fantasy V, where it was caught by Gilgamesh. In the Final Fantasy XVI side quest, "Blacksmith's Blues II", a single-edged sword from distant lands catches the titular blacksmith's eye. The metal isn't anything special, but he recognizes that the edge is the sharpest thing he's ever seen and could cleanly split a man in half. A weapon collector who bought the blade explains that it was forged by a school of swordsmanship from the Outer Isles who hone their blades with special whetstones until they're incredibly sharp but extremely fragile, so It Only Works Once before breaking. In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children/Complete, Sephiroth's Masamune and Cloud's Fusion Swords are capable of not only slashing cleanly through massive pieces of concrete buildings that are far larger than the swords themselves (which is saying something), but setting the edges of the cut concrete on fire. Of course, the swords, despite repeated clashing, never damage each other. |

In Until Death Do Us Part, the protagonist's sword is camouflaged inside his white cane. Said sword is able to cut through a gun... And the cut is so clean they actually manage to stick the parts of the gun back together. Unlike most such blades in fiction, this one requires constant maintenance, needing regular sharpening and coating with a special lubricant to keep it from being stuck in the materials it cuts through. | |

Child of the Storm has a number of examples. Zemo's sword, which cuts through people like air and can punch straight through vibranium weave clothing. It's this, and the fact that Zemo is an indefinably enhanced low-level Super-Soldier and Master Swordsman, that allows him to slaughter entire US Army patrols armed with nothing else. The Swords of the Cross, e.g. Amoracchius, will cut through literally anything... if properly used. If they are improperly used, then they are no more than ordinary swords and they will break. The Wardens' swords, which are 'merely' very well-made swords. Their main cutting properties relate to the fact that they're enchanted to serve as a kind of Anti-Magic, meaning they go straight through magical creatures and constructs like butter. Wolverine is also present in the story, with his (duh) Wolverine Claws. Harry's sword (resembling a shashka, the Cavalry Sabre of the Russian Cossacks), forged by Uhtred under the guidance of Tony Stark and with a few enchantments from Loki, is this. It is explicitly designed to have a razor-keen edge, owing to Harry's predilection for speed and Slice-and-Dice Swordsmanship, and being made of Asgardian steel, it cuts through almost everything. Its rather...strange reforging makes it even more lethal. |

The main character of the Safehold series has one of these, it's made of some super-hi-tech alloy that's nearly indestructible to boot, he actually considered making an even sharper blade with an edge Sharpened to a Single Atom, but decided that was overkill. It helps that the character in question is a Ridiculously Human Robot with Super-Strength who can thus put enough force behind the blade to slice an opponent's own sword into bits. Later he gives another character a similar blade. | |

Dragon Ball Multiverse: Tidar's (from U19) God Blade which he used to effortlessly cut Uub's arm and the whole arena in a single swing. And that one pales in comparison with the Ultra armor used by his comrade Xeniloum. Special mention should go to the Krillin vs. Salza battle, which seems set up answer the question of which ki-blade is sharper: Kienzan or the Salza Blade. Kienzan wins. |

In Clash of the Titans, Perseus receives a sword from the gods that slices through a block of marble without leaving a scratch on the blade (and he wasn't even trying to cut the marble, he was just a bit careless with how he lowered the sword after testing the balance and accidentally hit the marble block...). The weapon is primarily intended to cut through the scales of Medusa to behead her, which he ends up doing, and he also later uses it to slay Calibos. | |

The prequel DLC adds a few extra ones: A's Blade, Rex's twin Blades, and Shulk's Blade can all cut through Flame Clocks just like Noah's. It is probably not a coincidence that these are all Monados, either born directly from an Aegis core crystal (A's Blade comes from Ontos, Rex's come from Pneuma) or is a replica of the same. Matthew's gauntlets are also revealed to have Pneuma's core crystal hidden inside them, and they eventually become the transforming sheath of Noah's Blade. It's also strongly implied that the Sword of the End has Logos' core crystal. | |

Muramasa: The Demon Blade: The Demon Blades of the title can cut demons, gods, dragons, and pretty much anything else. As with the Muramasa blades of legend, dip one into a river and any leaves floating by will be cut in half. And in his second ending, Kisuke manages to cut Jinkuro's soul out of Momohime without harming her. Now that's sharp. The Oboro Muramasa, which can only be acquired after forging and finding all of the 107 other swords, is so sharp that it cuts fate. Or, in practical terms, it allows for Mental Time Travel. Just because the sword is really, really sharp. |

Inheritance Cycle: Throughout the series, all Riders' swords are imbued magically such that they never rust or dull and can defeat or outright ignore most enchantments. They're also forged using a rare meteorite that the sword smith Rheunon named "Brightsteel" which has a notable crystalline structure. The same is true of Eragon's first Riders' sword, Zar'roc. After getting a new sword in Brisingr, Eragon was able to cut through a portcullis and then the door behind it. That said, while Eragon is discussing the smithing of his sword Brisingr with Rheunon, the elf corrects him on the idea of a super-thin blade: a proper working sword needs a broad, flat bevel for strength and cutting power. Angela the Herbalist has a sword she calls "Tinkledeath" which is so sharp that it can literally cut through anything as if it were custard. |

Dragon Ball Z: Yajirobe's katana. Weapons are mostly useless against even weak enemies, but Yajirobe is able to accomplish feats like slicing off Great Ape Vegeta's gigantic tail in a single swing, despite his unimpressive strength (by DBZ standards.) Also Krillin's Ki-Enzan ("ki razor," an energy disc called "Destructo Disc" in the dub), an absurdly sharp ki attack. Though Krillin himself is quickly Overshadowed by Awesome, his signature technique remains deadly, and at one point he is able to cut off Frieza's tail. His relative lack of power is an advantage with this technique: The disc is slow enough that most enemies see it coming and could dodge easily, but instead try to No-Sell it, getting themselves cut. He almost takes out Nappa (who was dominating the entire Z-Fighter team minus Goku) during the Saiyan Saga with it... But the much smarter Vegeta recognized the nature of the attack in time to warn Nappa. Frieza also knew to dodge because he independently invented his own version (the Death Saucer, which he can guide telekinetically,) but got caught off guard by one of them and thus lost his tail. Krillin tossed dozens of others at Frieza but failed to get any other hits... And later on Frieza accidentally cut himself in half with a Death Saucer. Only Cell manages to tank it, and even though Kid Buu was sliced in half with one, he just merged right back as if nothing happened. How Trunks' sword can cut through the augmented Frieza without shattering is never explained, but it is clearly more durable than almost any other weapon shown. King Cold assumes that Trunks was able to slice through his son thanks entirely to this trope, but he finds out he's Wrong Genre Savvy the hard way: Trunks is just as dangerous without it. The Z Sword is a subversion: it's incredibly heavy and sharp enough to make clean slices through boulders without issue, but when they test the blade against a block of solid katchin (the hardest metal in the universe, apparently), it breaks in half. This turns out to be a good thing though, since it frees the Kai that was sealed inside it. |

Rurouni Kenshin: Sagara Sanosuke may have a BFS but Kenshin's original sword cut through it. He's also used the sharp side of his reverse-blade sword to slice through cannonballs and a huge lamp-post. When his original reverse blade sword broke, he went to visit a swordmaker, who has retired from swordsmithing and started making cooking knives instead. That man's cutting knives were able to slice a turnip in half with a cut so fine that Kenshin was able to fit the two halves back together without showing a seam. |

New World of Darkness has a supplement called Dudes of Legend: How To Be Fucking Awesome. It contained- among rules for using your genitalia as a bludgeoning weapon, instituting experience charts for kills, and other things that ran completely contrary to the intended feeling of nWoD- a hack that lets you wield a katana that had the 7-Again quality, allowing you to reroll any result of 7 or higher on a d10. Considering that the system only counts successes at 8 or higher, and rerolls at 10, you will reroll every success you manage to get, again and again. It's explicitly intended to simulate these kinds of weapons. | |

Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2, and Dead Rising 3 all feature everyday bladed weapons with peculiar sharpness. Many bladed weapons cut right through a human body in a single blow with practically no resistance, including a few where you'd really need to put some effort into it such as weapons whose cutting edge consists of a chef's knife or meat cleaver. Amusingly, zombies that are killed in such fashion don't display things like bones, muscle, or viscera, but only feature a pink, Spamlike interior beneath their skin—perhaps inadvertently explaining their fragility, but that just raises other questions. | |

The 1998 television series Merlin has an example of Excalibur that fits this interpretation. Just parrying a weaker sword will cut the weaker sword in half. | |

Inverted in Tigtone where the titular hero is given the quest to destroy "Nothing", so he runs around and begins stabbing the air with his sword. Then he gets the idea to smash and dull his sword to the point where it's so worn to the point where a peach breaks it in half, so now he has a sword that cuts "nothing", and proceeds to rip a hole in reality with it by cutting "nothing". | |

X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Wolverine's claws, which are coated in adamantium. Shortly after he receives his adamantium infusion, he slices up several items in a farmhouse bathroom (including a porcelain sink) with his now impossibly sharp claws, despite applying what appears to be no more than the force required to move an unrestrained arm. Wade Wilson's katanas. |

Goemon from Lupin III wields a katana called the Zantetsuken ("Iron-Cutting Sword") in the anime, and Ryusei ("Falling Star") in the manga. If the sword is unable to cut something, it becomes a plot point. Exactly why the sword has such incredible cutting power varies, due to Broad Strokes continuity. Lupin III: Episode 0: First Contact and Lupin III: Dragon of Doom both explain that the Zantetsuken is made out of a mysterious alloy. Lupin III: Part 1 explains that the three famous swords of Japanese past (Murasame, Masumare, Ken) were reforged into this one sword, and it is their spirit that makes it so powerful. In the manga, it's said to be made of a rare steel alloy produced from meteoric iron that is almost indestructible, though apparently the metal can cut itself. Regardless of why it can cut anything, it's a running gag in all versions of the series that the sword, for all its sharpness, can't cut a yam-based gel named "Devil's Tongue". In addition, he almost never gets to cut a person with it — his catchphrase, said after he cuts something inanimate (often clothing) is "Once again I have cut a worthless object." |

In Hellsing: Father Alexander Anderson of the Vatican's Iscariot Section XIII fights vampires, ghouls, and Nazis with ridiculously sharp bayonets that he blesses before combat. Not only does he keep a seemingly endless supply of bayonets on his person at all times, he also carries a very long, bayonet-lined, exploding chain that utterly destroys whatever monster he's chosen to hunt that night. According to Word of God, Anderson does possess a form of Hammerspace and is actually four-dimensional. Sir Integra Hellsing always carries a sword on her person and doesn't hesitate to use it, the most memorable of which involves slicing clean through a Nazi vampire's head. Even Holy Hitman Anderson compliments her on such a swift, bloody kill. Not bad for a normal human. |

Tales of the Undiscovered Swords gives us the personification of Sasanoyuki, a sword known for being this in history. He is characterized as a cold emotionless Iaijutsu Practitioner and special care is taken by the narrative to show how scarily sharp he is, especially with his ability to leave wounds that don't hurt. Hell, even this sword's name, which is literally "snow on bamboo", references his sharpness. | |

In Forging Divinity, the Sae'kes has a cutting aura that appears to disintegrate anything it comes into contact with. It's such a powerful weapon that Taelien, who owns the weapon currently, can't even use it properly after years of training. It's also been shown cutting into other powerful artifacts, such as the Heartlance. | |
