I believe so, I will not buy one for a long while too many knives that I still want before I do

I know some of the cutlery places can order Japanese Katanas. Ranging from 300 to on up.

Well it will be a little while but this is the one I am ordering Handcrafted Custom Samurai Swords for Martial Artists and Collectors these are authentic clay forged Samauri Katana swords made the old school way. They never need sharpened and will cut through damn near anything

Are you sure you are not adding an extra zero? it is $2.5K not $25K lol anyway it will cut through a car

Remember that if you get a traditional Katana that is hand forged and treated that you will have to regularly maintain it and keep it oiled down really well.

If you want something that's good and a little more cost effective, check out Paul Chen's stuff. He's widely regarded as the master of sword making and they have everything from a practical entry line to full on folded and forged pieces.
