It is definately more of metaphorical thing... A good sword would be quite expensive and more than likely haned down from generation to generation... As a result their is a lot of repsect given to the sword.
To have it break in combat would be an honourable "death" for a katana. To have it break due to the lack of upkeep (i.e. cleaning and sharpening) would be disgraceful.
