Would I be right in saying that the blunt edge is a folded sheet, left relatively soft so it doesn't snap, and the sharp edge is heat-hardened to keep it brittle, but hard?

Hey, we're also forgetting the different calibres of bullets! There must be some weapons that could easily shatter a katana.

*ties up silver, and lights small fire underneath*

How did that go last time? Did I promise something?

@Tharwen: Actually the entire blade is quite stiff. Including the edge. At least I think so. I need to refresh my weaponry study....

*takes sliverwings gun*

Bad.

@Tharwen: There is, of course, but even then there are legends that some blades were folded so many times they were considered to be unbreakable and unbendable. However, they are legends, making them incredibly difficult to confirm.
