* When Wolverine is brought back to life in the beginning of the [[ComicBook/MarvelAFreshStart Marvel: A Fresh Start]] launch, he's given the NewSuperpower of superheating his claws, at the expense of diminishing his healing factor and tapping into his berserker side. However, this hasn't been brought up much if at all outside of its introductory arc.

* Nero's Red Queen from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 4'' has a special mechanism inside it; the sword has a gasoline fuel inside, and the sword can be revved; when doing so, it sprays out the fuel to the blade as well as igniting it, making the blade glow hot red.

* ''Extremely'' downplayed, but technically the spirit of the trope is invoked on ice cream cakes, running a kitchen knife under hot tap water and wiping beforehand makes cutting through the frozen cake much easier.

* In ''Literature/CodexAlera'' many of the High Lords firecraft their swords, because a bleeding wound can be watercrafted better easily enough, but a cauterized wound is unhealable. Since this causes their swords to shine brightly, they also use them to send signals and challenges that can be seen across the chaos of a battle.

A hot blade is an edged weapon that somehow heats up, adding the thermal energy of its temperature to the kinetic energy of its blow to achieve AbsurdCuttingPower. When active, it will usually glow visibly (without losing any of its structural integrity, [[MST3kMantra somehow]] [[labelnote:explanation]]Steel-based blades will have any heat treatment ''ruined'' after exposure to such heated-blade usage. You could use some kind of material that can withstand the temperatures the intended heat blade will reach, such as a tungsten alloy or ceramic, but there will be tradeoffs based on the strengths and weaknesses of the chosen material.[[/labelnote]]) because PowerGlows.

Added DiffLines:

* Downplayed with tools used to cut synthetic rope, which uses heat but doesnt glow. A blade is electrically heated hot enough that it can be used to cut through a rope while melting the cut to seal it and prevent the rope from unbraiding.

* The ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' have multiple examples where the main ultra of the show can summon glowing, energy blades coated with superheated plasma which can slice apart kaijus.
* ''Franchise/UltramanZero'': The titular Ultra's Zero Twin Sword, created by merging the Zero Sluggers with energy of the Plasma Spark. It glows with plasma energy and makes the Zero Sluggers even sharper than it already is, allowing Ultraman Zero to slice apart enemies like butter.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' blurs the line somewhat between this and FlamingSword. The Flameblade (along with the Great Flameblade and Flamespear) glows red when carried and puts out enough heat to keep Link warm and even melt ice. But when used to attack, it emits a burst of fire that can ignite anything flammable in its path.

Even a dagger-sized one can cut through anything except steel and solid stone with ludicrous ease, and wielders need to store them in specially-enchanted sheathes, lest they themselves be set on fire. Just about the only thing a Sunforge Blade ''can't'' cut is another magically-imbued objects.item [[spoiler:like an Assassin's Binding]].
