    All swords were made to "cut". And we're talking about flesh here. The hardest part to cut in a living being is the bones, but even that was cut through with different blades.

    Katana was a very sharp weapon, it's true, but it wasn't the sharpest mankind had seen. The Japanese do a great job glorifying it, as they should! But any blade with a curve was VERY sharp and didn't rely as much on its weight. Sabers, Arabian swords and the katana were great examples of relatively "lighter" blades that had extreme cutting power.

    Claymore cuts because of its weight. Knight swords were also capable of slicing a man in half with a powerful enough swing.

    Want some fun facts? Search Damascus steel swords. Those were famed to "cut", not just flesh, but other swords and rifle barrels. Though I don't know why a technology, used first in India, is named after a middle eastern city (Damascus).
