To answer the original question. Probably "yes". Probably no Japanese master sword smiths, but we got enough knowledge experts and masters of google-fu to find an answer to just about anything.

And of course...

A buddy of mine is hard core into Kendo and knows quite a bit about Japanese swords. Put up some detailed photos and we'll help as much as we can.

O rly?

Because me and a friend used to practice with some steel swords (european, not japanese) and we hit them hard enough to draw sparks on more than one occasion. We also used impact grade hickory for our wooden swords because we shattered pretty much any other wood. I don't really have to go out on a limb here to say that it's only certain grades of steel that shatter like that.

EDIT: These are the swords we practiced with.
Arms & Armor
The page says 6150 steel. These were borderline indestructible and carried a lifetime warranty - certainly not "crap."

Wikipedia begs to differ.

Katana construction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looks like Katanas are made out of steel.
