I got one for cheap from a friend who went to an anime convention, and I have a wooden katana I got from Amazon for about $10 IIRC.

EDIT: I better not hear some crazy guy dressed in black (or naked) randomly killing people with a sword at a church/school/restaurant or cutting off his own appendages. And no, having a sword does not enable you to travel back in time (even if it does have a helix symbol on the hilt).

i bought one in Japan for like $40. this was before 9/11, when i was going through customs the dude in Japan opened up my suitcase, looked at it, thought it was cool, then let me go.

You could probably get an ornamental one pretty cheap, but I'd imagine the real swords (i.e. one you can actually use) are kind of pricey.

I like the second one, and the seller is the same one I got my wood katana from (which was very good for the price). The first one is not bad, either.

True. Most of these swords are sharp enough to be far too dangerous to play with, but not of high enough quality to actually use for demonstration purposes. I really hope InspectorJihad (*eyes widen and mouth opens at username :p*) is only looking for one for ornamental reasons.

the red and black on the 3rd sword is badass. hmm...i'm thinking one of the first 3. good to know the seller is trustworthy.

Used to see them every Sunday morning at the flea market....like $10. If you've got a big regularly-occuring one in your area, I'd check there also.

if you want someting you can actually use, you're gonna pay a lot. otherwise you'll just get something where the blade will fall out of the hilt the first time you try to swing it.
