“. . . a single-edged sword, meaning it was sharpened on only one side . . .”


May I ask what other meaning might obtain?

The sword was infinitely wide?

Obviously written by a recent graduate of a journalism school ...

Hey, at least they didn’t try to explain the concept using a single entendre. 😊

It’s a Mobius sword with only one side and one edge.

My first thought was, one side in a vertical transect...as if holding the edge against the grindstone along a single plane...as you would for the edge of a plane blade. But I guess one side means the bottom edge bevel sharpened and the opposite top edge ignored (holding the blade horizontally).
