actually that wouldn't be the problem in steady state. Even considering the perfect monochromaticity approximation (which is fine for the brunt of interferometric design, between a few cycles after reaching steady state and a few cycles before losing it) it still isn't possible without some weird non-linear propagation. As you're talking about photons in air and no material object at the sabre's tip, it's just nononono.
