You have to be creative. Technically, if there are a  bunch of pointy knife dealies on the edge and you smack them with it you could puncture them. While the effectiveness of such a weapon is criticized by some people, a "baseball bat with nails in it" is a popular choice for large weapons with puncture type qualities. If you were to streamline this and make it out of a material that didn't get compromised by the brittle architecture, it would do a degree of puncture damage.

Like so:

While not technically a sword then, something of this size could be used to effectively puncture armour. The tenno is then strong enough to rip the sharp dealies out which would technically be slash damage afterward.

I don't care one way or the other about things but keep in mind that the size or overall of an object doesn't necessarily preclude it from causing physical damage in one way or another. If you crash a car into a logging vehicle with the logs sticking out and the logs get stuck through the car, it is more like a stab than a slash or an impact. Technically the tip of even the smallest blade has a moment of impact.

Anyway, tired of saying technically. If you think in terms of scale, almost everything is doing some degree of each even if one is the clear winner.
