Kodakmint Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 I have about $700 dollars to buy a nice katana, what would you all suggest?
Wastelander Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Well, that depends on your definition of "nice" but HandmadeSword.com has some good ones that look nice that fell well within your budget--mine was $250 from that site and works well for kata and some light cutting. For a REALLY nice katana, custom forged ones are the way to go and I know people who make them, but you're looking at probably double your budget and a wait for them to make it Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf KarlssonShorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)Shuri-Ryu | 2006-2010: Sankyu | Sensei: Joey Johnston, Joe Walker (RIP)Judo | 2007-2010: Gokyu | Sensei: Joe Walker (RIP), Ramon Rivera (RIP), Adrian RiveraIllinois Practical Karate | International Neoclassical Karate Kobudo Society

bushido_man96 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I think I'd buy a gun, but that's just me. No Iado classes available here. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
