There isn't really a lot of reason to give it game stats or even describe its' workings in terms of combat Turns.

The stats are in weaponized format because when you encounter a Wall etc. in GURPS, you have its stats in the format of HP, DR, perhaps but not necessarily material, and size. When someone makes a Binding or buys a Spaceship, you usually don't know the precise thickness of the targeted thing - you know the HP and DR. And so the cutting-tool stats need to be in a format that allows some sort of cutting-time calculation based on those stats.
