Mono-molecular edge

A Mono-molecular edge was a type of edge applied to certain bladed weapons.

Different from the monomolecular blade, which was a near microscopic blade a single molecule in thickness, the mono-molecular edge referred to a process that could be applied to most edged weapons. Using sophisticated machinery, an edge was honed down to mono-molecular thickness and then toughened through laser-forging techniques to keep it sharp. The resulting edge, while not as powerful as a Monomolecular blade, was nevertheless exceedingly sharp, and capable of impressive cutting power.
