Oh, but it can. Not on every hit, but if you have bad luck, it hits in an angle that does pierce through the thing. And chainmail is easy pickings.

And a knife can totally have two sharpened edges. And I admit that I don't know how to fence, but isn't it basically just stab, slash, deflect?

Depends on what kind of sword you use. But I have to say, most actors these days (in movies. On the theatrical stage, there's a reason why it's not supposed to look too realistic.) don't know how to wield a sword. They actually try to meet the other's sword, when the point of using a sword is stabbing your opponent (even if you're just doing it for sport).
