Ares Monokatana

Source: Glen Harrigan
Ancient Japanese sword-making techniques and monomolecular technologies were combined to form this blade, the sharpest on the market and capable of delivering more power than any other. The Monokatana, while useful on the streets, is simply not enough when you're on the battlefield.

With that in mind, Ares has also introduced the Excalibur-X. This double-bladed monosword has been made possible only through the application of computer-guided laser cutters and monomolecular technology. The Excalibur-X is the sharpest blade on the planet, capable of slicing through almost anything. In fact, the only thing that we couldn't cut with it was a suit of heavy military grade armor, though we suspect that, given a strong enough arm behind it, even the armor will not provide a sufficient barrier.The Excalibur-X features a Dikoted blade, and customizable grip, and the best armor-piercing ability available in a melee weapon. This weapon has been declared so deadly, that it is being treated as a low-calibre automatic weapon in the eyes of the law.

The Phalanx Phantom Combat Axe

Source: Glen Harrigan

The Phalanx Phantom, developed by the Phalanx division of Ares Macrotechnology, has been produced for those who have the money to spend, bu cannot afford teh prices of the Exalibur-X. The Phantom uses a laser cut edge that is razor sharp-sharper than a standard combat axe-combined with a reinforced blade, resulting in a dramatic increase in damage. If that isn't enough, the Phalanx Wraith has an even stronger blade and is sharp enough to cause some serious havoc, but the price may put it out of the price range of many people.
