Please explain to me about hollow blades, because I don't like being an idiot (if I am one, then so be it). The way I know that katanas work is by having a solid, hard rockwell rated center, with softer rockwell steel folded around the center core (aka San Mai style). This gives the sword incredible strength and durability while as well allowing it to flex some without snapping. I cannot see the physics of a hollow sword actually working, unless it has a triangle matrix in the hollow bits.

That's definately one of the designs i was thinking of, but not a triangle matrix more like cubes. Or a 8 shaped inside would probably work fine too.
