Though sharper and can cut through bamboo like paper, it is also more brittle. Thus, hitting katanas against each other would probably result in breaking or weakening both of them severely. Logically enough, this aspect of swordcraft has affected how japanese swordplay has come about. Solely carrying a katana seems almost useless without some sort of knowledge of hand to hand combat.
