OxygenAsh Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Not the practice stuff. Not the collectors' stuff. Not the bull. The REAL FIGHTING WEAPONS! ANY price. The blade is only silent until it cuts through your flesh.
Withers M.A.A. Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Bugei has them handforged for over $1000. Paul Chen also makes hand forged blades and prices range from $120 for a practical katana up to the thousands. I own a Paul Chen katana and the quality is great. The expensive swords have real sting ray skin under the leather wrapped handle. The balance on these swords is great. I'm sure the Bugei swords are great but I've never personally seen one up close.
