What's a reliable website for buying ninja/samurai swords?

Question

I'm kinda tired of practicing with broken broomsticks, poles and other scraps of junk... Where could I get a real sword? (yes, I plan on being extra careful when using a real weapon. sorry if I made spelling mistakes.)

Answer 2

First off your teacher should be able to get you what you need.

No teacher, then stay away form live steel.

Most of the websites, like the one listed below, sell low end junk, refered in the sword community as beater class.

There is no such thing as cheap good steel.

First stage bokken, wooden sowrd

Second stage Ito, non-edged sword

The live steel
