Enough electricity can melt most any metal. In many industrial welding operations electricity is used to fuse metals by melting them between two electrical contacts. If you can engineer a portable system with enough sustained energy and a sufficient cooling system you could make something of a saw when contacting a conductive surface.

Also At some point, when a large enough electrical potential is generated, electricity will arc through the air between the two contacts. At this point the air is so heated and ionized that it becomes a plasma. Plasma is chaotic, but containable, and as long as a the saw is engineered right, it would be an effective cutting tool.

Either way you get something of a cutting effect and immediate contact with the electrical contacts will deliver quite the shock. I'm not going to say that I am 100% correct, but the logic seems good enough to make a weapon concept for a game.
