Do you mean just the edge? Because with a sword basically the whole thing other than the handle is the blade.
But yeah, with a tiny diamond edge you’d probably have the best of both worlds, a light, flexible sword with an ultra-sharp cutting edge.
Still, the edge probably wouldn’t last for long. If the diamond was attached to a steel blade and the blade flexed, the diamond couldn’t flex and would probably snap.
Listen there’s definitely enough carbon in the body to boost that into a steel sword.
If we can make diamonds out of corpses, we can make steel.
Hold up… Wouldn’t a diamond sword be better than a steel one?
In Minecraft, sure.
Too brittle, I think.
For ceremony, though, perfect!
Way too brittle if it was the weight of a typical sword, and way too heavy otherwise.
On the other hand, the cutting edge of that sword would be pretty amazing while it lasted.
well what about just having the blade being diamond, like those diamond saws used for cutting rock.

Just toss your enemies into the recycler that extracts material for the replicator and replicate yourself a sword.
