That seems to be how they're frequently depicted in media. And also lol "oh no my sword is too good at cutting! It's evil cutting!" playwrights lol.

I did like the Taoist idea I read a while back about a blade being sharp enough to sort of unmake something as it cuts through it, keeping its edge by not hitting any points of resistance that it didn't need to.

I even worked that into a key moment in my second book, from an antagonist character that had a habit of breaking swords a bit too much before that moment.
