Yeah, cloud, I doubt that anyone would be holding a phone books when being shot at with a gun, and if we're talking about being able to stop a bullet, it takes fairly folded up very waxy paper to block a lead ball fired from an early revolver, but if you get anywhere past that then no, Paper doesn't stop bullets.

And to get back to the point of this, cutting a tree equates to cutting steel armour. Well, it comes to down to many factors, but for sake of time and convienience, I'll give the short version. Tree's or just wood in general can be cut into fairly easily with a weapon that has an edge, so the fact is that you can cut a tree with a sword, axe, knife or even a scythe and it would cut into it. Now, it is possible for steel to cut steel but when its edge on edge contact. If any steel blade is to make contact with another item that is steel edge on flat, then it won't cut through it. If it were to be stabbed by a blade thats durable enough, then sure, steel can puncture steel, but can't cut it.

Now, a sharp blade can cut a lot, right? Well, a japanese katana can get to be extremely sharp, but sharpness doesn't really matter since your making the edge of the blade as thin as possible, so that when you hit an object that is of the same density and hardness as your blade, the edge either chips or rolls. I speak from experience as i've had that happen to my blades in the past.
