In terms of the way Shadow moves, this weapon is basically a watered-down version of Mephisto's Sawblade. The Upper Slash and Slash are identical! This weapon would be great if it weren't so expensive, and Sawblade is slightly faster for some moves anyway. Don't bother with the 500 gems. You'd be better off trying to beat Titan using Hack Knives, which is saying something.

But hey, if you beat Titan with Hack Knives, maybe you'll be the first player to do so EVER... for good reason. I personally think Hack Knives are underrated in that they can be fun to use even though they are terrible from almost all practical perspectives.
