Don't kid your self. Wolverine's has straight on, 12 inches of penetration (sounds dirty), stabbed Thing with minimal effort. He's carved up Wreaker, Namor, WWH and Count Nefaria. Even his glancing blows effected Thor. If Wolverine connects with the Odin Son, he is going to have a bad day.

He only landed a glancing blow, what did you expect... a decapitation? Wolverine is limited by the medium and the fact that Thor needed to stay alive and come out of it without an major disfigurement. In a forum match Wolverine carves up Thor like a Christmas goose.

So, because Logan didn't cause much damage beyond the superficial kind when he connected in this very same comic you're citing from, he can likewise do much more damage in a forum setting? That doesn't make any sense at all. When directly paired against Thor, his blows were only doing damage because it was stacking on top of his other attacks. Thor even states the damage dealt isn't serious at first because of his skin, but that will change in time. I don't understand how you can leave that much out and claim Logan's damage output will be far greater than what he showed on panel unless you really really want him to win here, which is obvious you do.
Wolverine wasn't stacking damange, aside from the initial face scratch, he landed one strike across Thor's shoulder and one across the left side of his stomach. The one across Thor's stomaching having the most effect. Thor's skin helped him with some glancing blows, awesome, but Wolverine never landed a direct hit on Thor in the entirety of that fight. I don't see how Thor being injured by glancing blows is suddenly indication that he can now shrug of a direct hit. We've seen what a direct shot from Wolverine's claw's can do to people with Thor level durability and even greater durability. Wolverine will carve up Thor just like he's done Hulk. Just like he's done Thing. Just like he's done Wreaker. Just like he's done Count Nefarai.

Now that I think about it Bone claw Daken did run Pluto through with his claws, maybe he could get at least some partial penetration on Thor even without the Muramasa claws.

No, we do that because we've seen what non-glancing blows have from Wolverine have done to opponents of Thor level durability in the past, which leaves us with Thor only barely getting touched by Wolverine's claws as the only possible solution.

That's exactly what's going on. He slashed at "Sabes" for all he worth, and it left three thin slashes across Thor's face. Thor even reaffirms this fact later in the story. His skin is tough enough to endure multiple slashes of Logan without venturing into serious harm. But in a forum fight his claws deal more damage? Or is Thor's skin not as tough?
It's ignoring the events in the comic and picking and choosing which are acceptable to be used in a forum. "Glancing blow", my ass. It was a full on swipe.

Ya no, sorry. Like hell that's a glancing blow. Thor was standing still and Wolverine had a full swing at his face, and connected.
Right, so ignore the on-panel evidence of what Thor is able to do because 'others' have fallen prey? Others with different durability to different objects than Thor?
**** this shit, Thor has tagged Silver Surfer, and Quicksilver. Wolverine never hits him, and Thor never misses.
It's obvious he slashed Thor with the intent to deal as much damage to "Creed" as possible prior to escaping. You're trying to twist what was actually shown into something it wasn't. In said comic, Logan's claws weren't dealing much damage to Thor's skin. They were connecting, sure, but outside of minor superficial damage, not much was done. I don't see what's hard to get here. It was a direct hit. But you don't like it because Thor wasn't filleted or greviously harmed because of it.
