Razor's Edge

Razor's Edge is an elite unique Tomahawk in Diablo 2 Resurrected that delivers exceptional damage through its combination of deadly strike and open wounds. This level 67 one-handed axe has carved out a unique niche as a budget alternative for Uber Tristram encounters.

Combat Mechanics

The axe's power stems from three synergistic modifiers: 50% Deadly Strike provides frequent double damage hits, 50% Chance of Open Wounds inflicts bleeding damage over time that's particularly effective against high-health bosses like Uber Diablo, and -33% Target Defense ensures attacks connect reliably. The +40% Increased Attack Speed combined with the Tomahawk's fast base speed [0] creates an aggressive weapon with excellent attack breakpoints.

Uber Tristram Applications

Razor's Edge has gained recognition as a viable Uber Smiter weapon when paired with proper gear. Combined with Dracul's Grasp for Life Tap, Chains of Honor for resistances and demon damage, and Gorerider boots for additional crushing blow, it performs surprisingly well against Uber bosses. The open wounds damage stacks effectively while Life Tap keeps you sustained. While inferior to Black runeword or Grief for pure Smiter builds, Razor's Edge offers a unique alternative that can complete Ubers without breaking the bank.

Trading Value & Alternatives

Ethereal versions with high enhanced damage rolls command premium prices. However, most players transition to Grief or other top-tier weapons for endgame content. Razor's Edge works best as a stepping stone weapon or a nostalgic choice for players seeking variety in their weapon arsenal.
