Shardblades hurt people's soul, not their body. If you use the sharp edge of a Shardblade to swipe through an arm, the arm remains completely intact, without a mark. But when you hold a Shardblade at the handle or clap your hands on the sides, aka touching the blunt parts, it acts like a normal object, so you could theoretically clobber someone to death with the blunt part of the sword. Perhaps this is going a bit far for book lore, but what makes the sharp part special and cut souls, while the blunt part that is made out of the same material does not? Why does your soul care whether the spooky Investure metal has an acute angle or not?
