just to clarify what a bo-hi is for lets look at those "I-Beams" they use on skyscrapers. The reason they're shaped like an I (with the lines on top and bottom) is because the I shape uses less metal for about the same strength. This is terribly important while making these gigantic buildings. Looking at a bo-hi you can see that it's about the same shape as an I beam. "good idea" you think. even so it still does sacrifice some structural integrity of the sword.
