As with most purchasing decisions, it pays to do your research when it comes to katana swords. If you’re in the market for one of these beauties, you need to know exactly what you’re looking for, especially before you commit to a purchase. Katana swords that are well made will remain in pristine condition, and could last you a lifetime. On the other hand, one of inferior quality could easily fall apart one of the very first times you handle it. You can find one for just about as little as you want to pay, however, as many things go - you get what you pay for. Saving some money and going with a cheap knock-off sword could mean going out and buying a new one a year from now, instead of handing it off to your children someday.
First off, what type are you looking for? Some katana swords are strictly for display purposes (and may even come in a display case or with mounting hardware). Then there are solid, more durable swords that are made for actual use, such as in martial arts katas, demonstrations, or live action role playing (LARPing). What use you have intended for the sword will determine what type you need to buy, and consequently, how much you will spend.
Similar designs of katana swords may come in different types from various manufacturers. Decorative swords, though they should never be used in practice, are not necessarily of lesser quality than their functional partners. Often, they simply have more focus on their decoration and engravings than blade strength. The stronger ones, on the other hand, may be able to stand up to vigorous beatings, being dropped, and being flung around with full force - but they likely won’t have as detailed engravings as the ones that exist entirely for decoration.
What type you are looking at also determines the accessories you should purchase. Katana swords for practical use should be bought with a matching sheath for transportation, safety, and to keep the sword from getting damaged. Any sword on display should be hung with the manufacturer’s mounting hardware if at all possible. A sword falling from the wall is one of the most dangerous things that could ever happen.
You can purchase katana swords from various online retailers, eBay, or in person at specialty retailers. The internet is great, because you will have a much larger selection to choose from. Every store you look at will have many models to look at, and there are thousands of stores at your disposal! Not to mention thousands more on eBay. The downside to buying katana swords online is not being able to get a real feel for quality craftsmanship before making your purchase. In person, you can feel the weight of the sword, examine the quality of the materials, and avoid paying shipping costs.
No matter how you obtain them, high-quality katana swords are something you will be able to hold on to for a lifetime.
