Mono-molecular edge

A Mono-molecular edge was a type of Edge (weapon) applied to certain bladed weapons.

A particularly deadly, though difficult to produce, edge, a Mono-molecular edge was an edge that had been honed to a single molecule in thickness, allowing for tremendous cutting power against even armored materials - without the need for a Vibration generator. Monomolecular blades were one such weapon that made use of a Mono-molecular edge, as well as Monofilament wire. Other examples were Ascian daggers, which had their durasteel edges honed to a mono-molecular edge, as well as larger ship mounted Monomolecular slicers.
