pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "A contender to our beloved spin-to-win, Falling Guillotine. Getting both add-clear via chain reaction or big damage through frenzy or one for all gives Razor’s Edge some real reason to grind for it. Now if you already have a good Guillotine or Hero of Ages you really don’t need Razor’s Edge, but having the option is never a bad thing. It also looks incredible as a mini-light saber.".

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "The Iron Banner origin trait looks really strong, but it fell on two weapons that really can’t take advantage of it. If Razor’s Edge also got eager edge you can really be a menace being removed from radar and flying around. But being a standard vortex frame hinders its ability to perform in all aspects of PvP.".
