Sodium is classified as an "Alkali Metal" and located in Group 1 elements of the Periodic Table.

Alkali metals are soft, malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Lighter than water, sodium can be cut with a knife at room temperature but is brittle at low temperatures. It conducts heat and electricity easily and exhibits the photoelectric effect (emission of electrons when exposed to light) to a marked degree. Sodium is by far the most commercially important alkali metal.

Sodium is a soft metal that can be forced thru a die into a wire, cut with a knife is somewhat malleable but can't be pulled into a wire so ductile is not the right word but neither is brittle. I have never thought about hitting sodium metal with a hammer to see if it shatters. It's simply sodium. Now liquid mercury drop a glob of it and it breaks into a gazillion tiny drops that is brittle.
