Raphael carried them in the movies.
Have a quick reread of his spellings, when you've stopped laughing you'll see what I mean.
Well, guess a Sai could be used on a bikini line lol. Damn with my perverted mind, how did I not spot that

My stance on the matter is it shouldn't be a problem to mention an example of when a sai, or anything else for that matter, is used in popular media.

You might have fared better if you used Electra instead of Raphael
My first exposure to the Sai was pre any of that in the early 70s in my Jujutsu class..... but they were not part of the class, that is just when I became aware of them, I think from Karate Illustrated. But as far as Sword breaking....never heard of it being done with a Sai.

I never saw Electra but even so, sais are perhaps better known from Ninja Turtles than from Electra.
On this site however I would say they are known for what they are and not for which fictional character carries them. I've known about them as well as practised with them long before 'Ninja Turtles' was even thought of.
I don't assume that because I don't know something then no one else can know it nor do I assume that because I do know something no one else does. It's a martial arts site, of course people know what the Sai is.

Well you may think it shouldn't be but 2 pages and 30 post later apparently it is so I am guessing that if you want your question answered it might be best just to cut your losses, refocus onto the main question, drop the Ninja turtles, and move on...I'm just sayin'
Actually the OP's title actually is somewhat ambiguous because it actually reads as if he wants a sword that will break a Sai, rather than a Sai that breaks a sword ie "I want a Sai breaking sword".

Well might I ask why you think Electra might be a better choice? She's pretend too.

I don't.... It was a joke...which is why I put a smiley face after it.

I see. Well anyway, moving on from that, I don't see the sai being taught in that many martial arts schools and while I do think it would be a fun and interesting weapon to learn I don't see it as all that practical. Most dojos from what I've seen like to teach stick fighting since sticks are easy to find and knife fighting. Now as for sai vs sword, that would be interesting although which would win, I would think that would depend on whose using them.
What proof do you have that 'most' dojos don't train Sai and 'most' dojos train 'sticks'.? it only seems impractical if you haven't learnt how to use them, it's actually one of my favourite weapons and I know a lot of people who train with them.

Most of the dojos I've been to don't. I never said that most dojos don't teach them, just not the ones I've seen.
You said you don't see it being taught in 'schools' which means you think it isn't taught, if you haven't seen it being taught that's a different matter. You can't offer up your opinion as being the truth.
Really? You think you've spent enough time in each of these dojos to know their entire curriculum?
Really?
Do you wonder why you hold the MartialTalk Record for facepalms in both the single and doubles categories?
