The design of Crescent Rose makes it so the blades are useless, once they cut about 6 inches...

If it was designed like a normal Scythe's blade, sure, maybe the blade would cut through the neck of the bird. But look at the design of Crescent Rose...

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/9261/b2hp.png I drew up a diagram of how a slice of Crescent Rose's blade would look.

The red in this case is what we can determine from looking at it from different frames. The blue and green are what MAY be on the inside of the blades.

See, on a human it'd likely be an effective weapon for cutting off limbs, or a head, as there aren't many body parts, aside from the torso, thicker than 6 or so inches.

Something like the Nevermore, however... It'll be enough to hurt, but the thing is, Crescent Rose against the Nevermore is not an Axe against a Tree... Not unless you're hitting it with the flat end... You'll hurt the tree, but it'll take a lot more force to do any real damage.

But using the info about how much force it takes to send a girl up a 5 floor building is irrelevant in this case. Why? Because Crescent Rose has been seen shooting at varrying strengths. But the speed Ruby was moving up the mountain wasn't enough force to bring something so thick through the Nevermore's neck.
