If carbide is brittle and steel in too soft, why not use the japanese technique that was used to make katana : very hard outer shell (in this cas from carbon enriched steel by multiple foldings) and soft steel core.... So the sword would be very hard and keep its edge (outer shell) but the softer inner core would keep the sword from being too brittle and braking.
I'm thinking thick carbide-metal alloy (titanium?) for the outer shell and steel for the inner core of the U-lock shackle.
