Shardblade edges

[Ascended Grubberfly He/Him]

Why is a Shardblade’s magic cutting nature limited to edges? Could someone who knew that a Shardblade “cuts” by turning the material into Investiture make a sledgehammer or other object with a large surface area to remove enemy fortifications or clear the snow from your driveway really fast?
