Final Fantasy V description

Kazekiri (かぜきりのやいば or 風切りの刃, Kazekiri no Yaiba?, lit. Wind Cutter Blade), also known as Tempest, Wind Slash, or Air Blade, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. Usually a mid-ranked katana, it is a Wind-elemental weapon. It sometimes shares its name with the recurring special attack Wind Slash and may be connected to it or a similar Wind-elemental ability. "Kazekiri" has also appeared as a name for a throwing weapon, localized as Wind Slash in English.
