could a diamond make a sword
A sword's strength comes from the flexibility of the metal such that it can absorb the force of impact. A rigid and brittle material like diamond would make for a terrible sword. A diamond edge, however, similar to the hard-tempered working edge of a Katana, is a possibility, but it would not be one solid piece.eah I knew diamond tipped saws were a thing, but would a diamond tipped sword, in the same fashion as a saw, be any better than a regular metal sword? Doesn't a saw essentially just repeatedly chip away at what it's cutting, not really what you want from a sword.
