Yes, yes. Our counterpoint was that since even you agree punching through dragon would be hard in roleplay- even more so since it is a lot tougher than steel, which we can't punch through either- and that therefore, having something that can cut through the metal which is classified in lore, if I remember correctly, as the absolutely strongest metal on Gielinor (saving for exceptions like the godsword and elder weapons)..... well, having an item that can cut through the toughest known material is questionable at best.

That, and the fact that your backstory gives it to you. Again, questing and facing hardships in roleplay makes more powerful weapons fairer game. (Note how I say "fairer". Really, most people who go out on difficult quests for fabulous items end up with something of about the power of rune.)
