Ruby's P&A alludes to her weapon's incredible sharpness; citing her chopping down a tree in one swipe. I contest this theory as she has used the blade on things that should have been cut, but to little effect...

In the Red Trailer, she uses the blade to flip around the neck of a Beowolf landing atop and pushing it down on the sythe before pulling the trigger finally decapitating and launching herself to get a field view of her situation.

She used the blade to halt her descent into the Emerald Forest; grabbing a tree branch (thinner than the tree trunk mentioned earlier, I might add) flipping a full 360, before completeing her descent to the forest floor.

She's also been seen standing on the blade.

While it could be argued that she uses her aura over the blade to get a desired effect; I'd like to point out the following...

The armor of the Ursa shrugged of the sythe. And it took considerable effort to decapitate the Nevermore.

I would hazard to say that the strength of Ruby's aura plays a greater part in the cleaving, than the sharpness of the blade itself. An aura that has been proven to afford her wasteful expendature on trivialities; such as cutting down a tree, which was an emotional act, not meant to prove anything.
