Weapons can only dismember corpses if slash is more than 50% of the IPS. That would be one way to define "slash weapon." Another consideration is that the 120% slash mods (Fanged Fusillade, Sweeping Serration, Maim, and Buzz Kill) will only increase total damage by more than a 90% elemental mod if slash is is more than 75% of the IPS.

On another note, there's also a bullet point stating "Relatively balanced physical damage types compared to most other melee weapons allows for use as an all-round weapon" - which is a more accurate statement...
