Bladed weapons, including [[Cool Sword|swords]] and [[Knife Nut|knives]], are often used by both good and bad guys all around. One good way to make said weapon more distinct or interesting is giving it a jagged edge, similar to a saw.
Such weapons can vary from actual saws to swords or daggers with an irregular, barbed edge, which can be used to actually saw harder materials while not fighting, breaking enemy weapons or inflict nastier wounds ([[Family
Those weapons tend to be linked mainly with evil guys or chaotic warriors, usually because of the association with [[Spikes of Villainy]], or the primitive look of the weapon, not mentioning the nasty wounds caused by said weapons. Good guys can use this kind of weaponry, but they'll usually avoid the "stabbing" part and/or rely on slashing motions, making the weapon less effective at chopping. Sometimes a [[Combat Medic]] or a [[Mad Scientist]] will wield one of these.
See also [[Chainsaw Good]] and [[Spikes of Villainy]]. May overlap with [[Awesome but Impractical]] and [[Oddly Shaped Sword]].
