Hardedge in Final Fantasy VII.

This straight-bladed sword looks like a bar of solid iron and is about as subtle.

The Hardedge (ハードブレイカー, Hādo Bureikā?, lit. Hard Breaker) is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It is a sword, more often than not, a greatsword. A hard-hitting weapon, it is usually a weaker or average weapon in among the other swords in its class. It often confers an immunity to Doom.

Appearances[]

The blade has the kanji (一刀両断, Ittō ryōdan?, lit. one-bladed bisection) written on it, a Japanese term for "cutting into two with a single stroke".
