* The Murakumo units from the ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' series have "wings" made of blades that are used for their heavy attacks.

* Jedah of ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' has sickle-like wings.
* Lenus from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon''. Considering that her wings are made of HardLight it could count as LaserBlade too.

* Dyna Blade from ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar''.
* Kirby's Wing ability was upgraded to have these in ''[[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamland Kirby's Return to Dreamland]]'', as his wings are now sharp enough to cut ropes, whereas they weren't in the aforementioned game.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'', when Kerrigan gets turned into the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Queen Of Blades]] she gains exoskeletal, bone-like wings. Which are all bladed and can move faster than the eye can follow. Her title isn't for nothing.
* The [[SuperMode Full Throttle dresssphere]] for Paine from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' makes her look like she has wings made of [[CoolSword swords]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. While they don't actually cut anything with them, the wings of Princess Celestia's pegasus guards do have AudibleSharpness.
