      Yes, 斬る usually has a nuance of greater violence. I suspect senses 2 and 3 are only 切れ味, but I don't want to clutter the entry. The alternative would be to put 斬れ味 in its own entry.

      斬れ味 is probably only used in video games such as the Monster Hunter series but I'm not sure.

      Note on figurative usage – used on beer cans, say.
