Dark Repulser is as close to a real sword as you can get in SAO, all the others are way oversized. It wouldn't break easily, it's actually still a bit oversized compared to a real sword, but at least proportions make more sense than other swords you see in the show. That sword is not very metallic like elucidator Elucidator is made of obsidian, it would shatter upon impact with anything even remotely rigid.
