There are heroes who prefer swords. Others think Katanas Are Just Better. Then there are those who need neither. No, if they have to cut their opponent in tiny pieces they will just use their bare hands. Of course there will usually be some magic or Applied Phlebotinum behind this, but the idea is that they don't need any tool whatsoever. A swipe of their extended palm with jointed fingers, and the job is done. Alternately, the hand can be used as an unstoppable piercing weapon.
When this trope is present in western media, It's normally Hand Waved by the user knowing Karate and is also commonly Played for Laughs.
Note that an example doesn't qualify if the "hand" itself is an actual blade or spear. Examples of that should go to Blade Below the Shoulder. It must have the appearance of a normal fingered hand. Let it also be known that a Brick Break doesn't count as "cutting", since it uses blunt force and leaves a jagged edge where the pieces cracked apart.
See also Heroes Fight Barehanded. Compare Absurd Cutting Power. For a defensive equivalent, see Bare-Handed Blade Block.

Devil May Cry 4: Dante did this to a slab of stone (and later, many slabs) when he acquired Gilgamesh (a set of supposedly non-sharp gauntlets and boots). Unfortunately, that only worked in a cutscene.

In Bleach, all of the Arrancars can do this as they have the ability to toughen their skin. Some shinigami practice forms of hand to hand combat which allows them to perform both this and Bare Handed Blade Blocks if they're sufficiently more powerful than their target.

Squid Girl: Chizuru demonstrates the ability to cut things with her bare hand. In the anime she only demonstrates the ability on Squid Girl's tentacles (the manga version has her holding a knife while doing these actions, making the anime version even more awesome) but later on in the manga she uses her bare hand to cut a weapon-grade watermelon that the three stooges had enhanced to resist a chainsaw.

Lucky Luke: Ballad of the Daltons: Caricatural Chinese Launderer Ming Li Foo responds to the threat to his life the Dalton Brothers stupidly uttered a minute earlier while undressing to have him clean their clothes by attacking Lucky Luke (who just wants to talk to him and save his life) with kung fu outside his shop. Foo chops clean everything in his path with his hand to get to Luke, including wooden saloon poles, a metal street lamp (in several small bits), a wooden barrel, a mannequin's head, a wooden ladder and even an anvil.

In Fist of Legend, Jet Li is discussing philosophy with a Japanese warrior. Jet Li's character says it's about power, and punches a rock. The Japanese fighter effortlessly swings his hand through the air, cutting a piece of paper in half and says it's not about power, but focusing that power.

Naruto:
The Chidori technique in its basic form consists of concentrating lightning chakra in your hand and charge very fast to make it cut and pierce through anything. The Third Raikage has a similar technique, except he takes it to One-Man Army levels. While Kabuto uses a repurposed medical technique, making his hand like a scalpel which lets him cut tendons and arteries without breaking skin but more often he can just use it to slice enemies in half.
When Kabuto released a number of Orochimaru's prisoners and made them all fight each other to the death (with the last survivor earning the "honour" of becoming Orochimaru's new host body) the eventual winner (Gen'yūmaru) kills his last opponent by taking his head clean off with his bare hands and sending it flying across the room.

Fist of the North Star
Nanto Seiken is a whole family of fighting disciplines that generally works this way. Most famous among the Nanto fighters is side protagonist Rei, whose Nanto Suicho Ken style can literally slash his enemies to ribbons; and Shin, whose piercing fingers were responsible for the Seven Scars that Kenshiro bears.
Even Hokuto Shinken does this, such as this incident where Kenshiro cleaves a man in half lengthwise with the edge of his hand.

Dragon Ball:
Dragon Ball: Tao Pai Pai has toughened not only his hands and feet but also his tongue to the point he can pierce through anything and effortlessly kill enemies.
Dragon Ball Z:
Gohan at one point uses this ability to split firewood.
Pops up again in the Buu saga, this time used by Vegito against Super Buu. The first of a couple of signature attacks (named Vegito Sword in the fighters), the energy sword projected from his hand is shown to briefly paralyze Buu.
Dr. Gero punctures a hole through poor Yamcha's chest after grabbing hold of him and draining his energy. Android 17 later jabs a hole in Gero himself before kicking his head off.
Dragon Ball Super: Goku Black likes to concentrate aura into one of his hands, then shape it into a blade, allowing him to use his arm like a sword.

In 1988 Soviet animated adaptation of Treasure Island, Jim discovers that his kung fu doesn't work on a gigantic, hulking pirate. He runs to a tree about a meter in diameter and karate-chops it down, so it falls on the pirate and breaks over his head. The pirate hardly notices this.

The Kyotoryu school from Katanagatari has been noted to slice through not only flesh but also other swords with bare handed techniques — even if those swords have been specifically made to be indestructible. One user even manages to create Razor Wind with a cut of her hand, which gives another character a perfectly-styled haircut.

Resident Evil: Wesker is a big fan of this move, most notably when he kills Oswald E. Spencer with a stab to the chest in Resident Evil 5. In his case, his hand isn't so much sharp as it's a matter of his Super-Strength: he brute-force slams his fingers through his victim's sternum.

In Casshern, there is a four-minute action sequence in which the hero mows down an entire army of war robots. The first one is dispatched by punching it through the heart using the artillery shell the hero has just caught in front of his own face. The second one has his head ripped off at the neck and is then bisected with a single vertical chop to the neck stump. It's as crazy as it sounds.

Pathfinder has the Boar Style line of feats which can give your unarmed attacks the slashing or piercing damage type, plus a damage and Intimidation bonus. Downplayed in that the fluff describes it as using hardened and sharpened nails (and teeth) instead of the "blade" of the hand.

Dragon Ball Super: Goku Black likes to concentrate aura into one of his hands, then shape it into a blade, allowing him to use his arm like a sword.

Futurama: Played for laughs in "Less than Hero", when Bender the Do-Anything Robot makes his hand spin rapidly to mimic the function of a saw and cut a plank of wood. This is especially implausible considering that his three fingers are thick, cylindrical and wider at the ends, as poorly suited to cutting as anything imaginable.

In a couple of the more recent fighter spinoffs from the Touhou Project series, Yukari Yakumo's Last Word ✶Lend Me Those Beautiful Legs!✶ winds up as this. With a single swipe from her fingernails, she cuts the victim clean in half. Or at least she appears to, as the silhouette screen and clip thereafter imply she's just pulling a bit of a stunt using her gaps (this being Yukari, it wouldn't be a major stretch); the hapless victim is almost immediately pieced back together again.

Two fighters are shown to excel with a technique like this in Baki the Grappler.
Shinogi Kosho practices a fighting style that allows him to sever nerves with his fingertips, allowing him to cripple or blind his opponents.
One of titular "Most Evil Death Row Convicts" in said arc is Sikorsky, although he puts his own spin on this trope. He knows of a technique where he can cause deep cuts on his opponents, but instead of his fingers or nails, he actually makes use of swift knuckle strikes using friction to cut through flesh.

The titular hero of Ultraman Ace has the "Ultra-Knife!" which encases his hands, in a chopping motion, with a razor sharp aura, capable of shredding monster's body parts with ease. This attack notably relieves the monster Zaigon of its cranium.

Invincible: Omni-Man has the typical combo of Super-Speed, Super-Strength, and Nigh-Invulnerability. When he's fighting lethally, he can ruthlessly apply these abilities to perform cleanly slicing hand chops in the blink of an eye.

In John Carpenter's Vampires, the Vampire Lord at one point uses his bare hand to first jam it into a human's chest, then swings the arm in an upward motion to completely rip the poor victim in half.
