Only diamonds can damage other diamonds (or, of course, extremely heavy weights). Possibly if the katana was diamond-studded, or the edges were made of diamonds. I suppose if you could swing it hard enough you could shatter the diamond (like the heavy weight thing above) but you'd have to have superhuman strength.

Can a diamond saw cut through wood?

Yes, a diamond saw can cut through wood, but it is not the most efficient tool for this task. Diamond saws are typically designed for cutting hard materials like metal, concrete, or stone. For cutting wood, a saw with a toothed blade designed for wood would be more effective.


What can break a diamond without a diamond?

A laser can burn through a diamond and be used to "cut" it, though it might not be pretty. As for jewelry applications, the traditional method of splitting a diamond is to "cut" it with a hardened steel knife. The knife is finely sharpened and hardened, and placed against the diamond to be cut. The knife is then struck with a small hammer. Thus the action is one of splitting, not really cutting. The cut is carefully positioned as to take advantage of the internal crystal structure of the diamond. A hammer can be used to "smash" a diamond and break it, but this is a poor use for a hammer as well as a waste of a diamond.
