Wouldn't zero thickness slice between molecules? Once cut, if not completely horizontal, wouldn't gravity do the job of pulling it over?

I realise this is not really a serious discussion, but. Two things.

One, "an edge of zero thickness" makes no sense in actual reality. You can express a zero-width planar object in simple mathematics but... you can't build one, because literally zero thickness means... no object. With no object, well, nothing happens. Pretty sure that's more or less what the other guy meant. It's both true, and kind of irrelevant what with magic being involved.

Two, also in actual physics (...now relevant again because we've brought up 'slice between molecules'...) what you mean by 'cut between molecules' is a bit ambiguous but you do need to understand that at the molecular, atmoic, and subatomic scales, physical interactions simply don't look the same as they do at a macroscopic scale. At the (roughly) atomic scale everything is a bunch of kind-of-energy-kind-of-matter physics; you can think of it as a bunch of little fields busy repulsing and attracting each other, rather than atoms/molecules being things you can neatly 'run into' or 'cut between' as if they were a bunch of little solid spheres or something.

(For advanced reading look up "fundamental interactions", which are basically as far as science can tell the only four things that are actually going on, when you get right down to it, whenever matter and/or energy interact with each other. You'll notice that all of them are attractive and/or repulsive forces. Only at larger, generally macroscopic scales do they collectively produce phenomena like 'solid objects')

As an aside, the advantage of a thinner blade normally is, generally, expressed more easily in pressure equations (the thinner the blade is, the more pressure exerted per surface area—to a large extent that's what sharpness means, when you get down to it). A zero-thickness blade, while impossible, therefore would seemingly cut through anything—as it would apply seemingly infinite force along a single line, or if you prefer, a divide-by-zero error moreso than 'infinite'—but again, that question suddenly gets wonky at the atomic forces level. (Particularly because it's not clear what a zero-width object even means in actual physics. That's not how anything works, going back to the first point.)

However, then yet again... magic. If you want to write a series, it can work however you say it does.
