Knives & Blades Of SteelFor The Knife & Blade Enthusiast

If you drop a lightsaber blade side down, would have to cut through the world? What substance can not cut?

I had understood that the only substance capable of cutting a lightsaber is another lightsaber. Therefore, if you drop one with the blade side down, which could avoid cutting a hole straight through the planet is standing on?

There really are materials that a lightsaber can not cross, Frik, for example. And you have to have a lightsaber to keep it in, in fact corresponds to the person who built it, in many cases the builder includes pressure sensors that automatically shuts off the blade had been disarmed by the user (to avoid friendly fire and collateral damage if the holder loses his gun.), but it was not always the case. Moreover, you have to consider that despite a lightsaber could cut through many things, not always easy. One example is the episode 1, when Qui Gon was trying cutting through the security door lock. He had to cut through slowly because the metal had a high melting temperature. Finally, while The lightsaber blade was very strong, the handles were often much more fragile. So if the lightsaber encountered a heavy metal, albeit through the merger, molten metal is likely to destroy the handle, stopping the blade.
