A non Sci-Fi example shows up in Saint Seiya Omega.It's eventually revealed to be her extending her sword by projecting a particle-like blade from its tip. Quinn Garland of Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force slashes at Tohma, Erio, and Caro with an unknown attack from her sword at long-range that isn't magic or some sort of Divider or Virus based power that could slice through things that normal swords can't slice.Walter controls them as extensions of his own body, and they seem to be of infinite length and durability, as they never break in the series. It can cut through steel and concrete, and at one point they are even used to bring down several Black Hawk helicopters. Dornez, the Hellsing family's personal butler, uses a set of monomolecular razor wires to devestating effect in combat, where they are shown capable of effortlessly dismembering and slicing apart armies of humans and ghouls alike. In Kiddy Grade, Sinistra and Dextera's ship can split into two, creating a 'monodimensional' blade between the halves.Eve from Black Cat managed to manipulate her Prehensile Hair to do this later in the manga.This can be particularly troublesome, as monomolecular wire is usually functionally invisible, and walking into one can slice through vital bits without being immediately noticed.Ī weapon is only an example of this trope when a specific (very small) width is given for the blade's edge if no specific measurement is given, then it's just an Absurdly Sharp Blade.
Most often seen with knives or swords, but occurs from time to time with Razor Floss, too. For these reasons, the trope is most frequently encountered in Science Fiction settings.Ī common term used for this is "monomolecular". This usually gives the weapons Absurd Cutting Power, but generally requires the blade to be made out of some sort of Unobtanium to maintain that sharpness without dulling instantly (or just shattering into a million pieces) the first time it's used. Weapons that have been sharpened to a single atom are a particular type of Absurdly Sharp Blade that are so sharp, their cutting edge can be measured in terms of atoms or molecules, often being just a single molecule wide.
