Where can i buy an authentic japanese katana?
a.k.a-nihonto
also, i know all about katanas, i have a few, but anything about $300 or less is not an authentic or traditional sword, i was thinking about getting a thaitsuki nihonto but i was just not sure what to get, Thanks!!!!!
Stay away from e-bay, at all costs.
The first thing to do is to identify what it is that you want. Are you just looking for something to "hang on the wall", use for martial arts (iaido, etc.,), or are you interested in the "real thing"? If you just want a wall/desk/fireplace ornament, perhaps you should first look at some of the many replica Japanese swords that are currently available. Most of these are far less expensive and much easier to care for than "real" Japanese swords. If you are looking for a sword for martial arts, I would advise first talking to your sensei. She or he should be able to give you a list of properties to look for and/or get you in contact with one of the many manufacturers/resellers of swords specifically for martial arts. And finally, if you want the "real thing", consider carefully what you want and how much you are willing to spend for it, in terms of both time and money. Real Japanese swords can vary in price from a few hundred dollars or less for a beat up gunto sword (made from bar stock and/or oil quenched) to somewhere in the 6 figure range (or possibly more) for a great sword (a piece with great historical significance and/or was made by a great smith and/or has been published in a number of sword books, etc.,). In addition, there are a great variety characteristics and types of Japanese weapons to choose from.
