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.
Brilliant Cut, or Round Brilliant cut as it can also be called, is a round diamond ;its the generic and most common shape you will see for a diamond in jewellery, especially engagement solitaire rings.
A deep cut diamond can appear smaller and less brilliant than a well-cut diamond because light escapes through the sides instead of reflecting back. Well-cut diamonds are generally considered the best as they maximize sparkle and brilliance by reflecting light back through the top of the stone.
If you mean the elements in the Periodic Table it is carbon. If your talking about in general, diamond is by far the strongest element known to human.
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.
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.

While diamonds are one of the hardest natural materials, they cannot cut through everything in the world. Diamond is unable to cut through all substances, especially those that are tougher and harder than it, such as other diamonds or ultra-hard materials like ceramics or certain metals. While diamond has exceptional hardness, it is not invincible and has limitations to what it can cut through.
