In reality, it ''is'' pretty common to strike a few sparks with a sword. Generating a spark by hitting another sword is all a matter of angle and friction, not of strength or sharpness. The spark is actually a little bit of the sword breaking off so its a sign you are slowly damaging the sword, and an inevitable result of use for any sharp object. Even fencing swords will spark occasionally and need replacement on occasion. Needless to say this is less visually impressive because the sparks come more one at a time and only for a moment.
