Nozarashi, Hozukimaru and maybe also Iba's Zanpakuto might all be strictly melee. We don't even know the name of the latter. In general, we know nothing about any of the 3 except Hozukimaru can split into 3 pieces connected by chains and Nozarashi according to its owner can cut through anything.

@ Demotivator:

Kenpachi himself said his sword can cut through anything. I don't intend to claim it's true, maybe it is, maybe not. But if it is true, I would call that a sort of ability, and it would most certainly fit to him.

@ Ezio:

That could be the sole purpose of Nozarashi, for all we know, become bigger and longer and capable of dealing much more damage. It does fit to its owner.
