For example, kunai could never pierce Kakuzu's hardened skin (through Earth Release: Earth Spear), while Kakashi's Raikiri has done it perfectly (thanks to the elemental advantage, of course). And it's just a single example. In fact, I see no point in this argument - if the elemental techniques weren't much more effective than a simple kunai, then all the shinobi would rely on the latter without using any techniques at all. The sharpness and a cutting power of a kunai without any enhancememt can never reach the same degree as do the techniques.
