Best site to buy a sword from?

Question

i really want to get a sword, just for display, but i want a real sword not a $25 one you get at a flea market. I've been looking on www.handmadesword.com can anyone tell me if this is a good site to buy one or where i can find better one?

Answer 1

Well last time i checked, a sword was a weapon, not a lamp.  You cant just buy any old sword off the internet, why would you want one for display? so u can tell your friends your a samurai?  You gonna swing it twice and claim to know kendo?  Buy a bokken, get enrolled, learn something, then go buy your $20 sword.  Makes me sick just thinking about it.

Answer 2

You wont find a good display piece for such limited funds. Your best bet for that money would be from cheness.com. If you can afford a few more dollars then better would be roninswords.com.

Answer 3

do a search for paul chen swords.

Answer 4

the best swords.. i personally know the kid who runs this site.. he is reliable and gives good prices.. there is not a large selection but i would recomend the excalibur or the axe and sword set

Answer 5

Try http://www.chenessinc.com/

9260 Spring Steel, so it's not traditional, but it'll take better use than most 1060 carbons.

Hope that helps.

It depends on what kind of sword you are looking for and how much you are willing to pay for it (some go for $10,000+ USD.)
