Anonymous Unregistered	Hi Guys, i am rather new to this but i recently grew a liking to japanese swords,(even thinking of taking lessons) So i started searching the internet and found a site calles www.blades-uk.com. Between brandnames like coldsteel, paul chen and last legend i saw the word shinken so i assummed that it would be a brand also. i am thinking of buying a katane just for showing but i wanted to be a "real" katane. so my question would be is : would this be the kind of sword i am looking for thx in advance. gr PP

They certainly look the part, are perfect as training tools, and are very low maintenance compared to shinken. http://www.swordstore.com
