That is cheap... ~laughs and picks your jaw up off the floor again~ the most hubby has paid for one of his swords is nearly $400 and they are real, and yes he's fought with them.. Too bad, the one that we brought with us was stolen back when we were living in Minnesota.. ~sighs~

There is a site that sells swords as well, top of the line, in fact, I do believe this is who we got them from... www.atar.com there is another site, you might like to look into, though the prices are really really expensive.. www.swordandstone.com.. Woobie and Kelsey, the site is back up and running, and yes, you can drool to your heart's content...

that is not a bad price.. makes me wonder if it is a showcase
item.. rather than a weidable one

sighs and drools... have lost all my neat stuff.. even the custom
made scabbards that were made for me.. over the years..

now i don't even have so much as mat knife..

well good luck on Your shopping Master !

he is a beast. steel bound..he does not change..he goes on... tho the day passes on leaden feet.. and the sky weeps.. he goes on ..

When it comes to folded steel, especially in the case of hand forged katana's, I highly doubt I would consider buying anything under two thousand dollars. But that's just me.

Looking for something real to drool over Bro?  A true Shinken blade, authorized in Japan by the Japanese government, and forged only by authorized Sword Smiths, and of course considered works of art and not weapons.  This is a true katana.



And for the mere price of $14,285

Damn. I know what I am buying when I finish up with Army training and have a cool 50k burning a hole in my pocket.
