Yeah, I know. I couldn't find another section that fit with it. Is it really important then?

So you want a katana.. you could buy a cheap replica, a iaido sword or a real sword. Replicas are crap don't waste a couple of bucks for a crappy, chinese-made wallhanger. Real swords cost far too much and have some problems, so settle for a iaido sword.
They are well-made, require no special care and can be used in practice. Buy one from this website, Kendo, Iaido, Katana, Aikido and all other Budo Online Store - Tozando Online Shopping
You can get a nice sword for $300 or $500.

About the "problems" of real swords.. every real sword, after it's been drawn, has to be properly cleaned. It it isn't cleaned with a special powder, it will oxidate soon. What's more, real swords must be handled only by expert users, they're really dangerous, and since they're considered as weapons, in certain countries you have to get a permit before you get your sword.
I know two people who use real swords in iaido training. They paid their swords around $9000 and $5000.

Swords stop being fun after a few weeks and you realize you've lost your money when they don't really do anything.

I spose sure if you have a nice display room for them but then you don't and just want it to have it because it's cool... chances are you'll feel some kind of regret from it's stagnant behavior.

I bought a friend of mine a display katana for christmas one year though.

Hi everyone,

I have a question about katana's of WW2.
I just wonder, did they paint the sheath? And if they did, with what kind of paint did they paint it?

I would really really appreciate it if someone could tell me. To me, it's really important...

Thanks!!!
