How to Choose the Best Samurai Sword

You may be fancying the idea of owning a samurai sword. It could be cool you think, but you are hesitant because for you it is hard to know a good samurai sword from a bad one. In some ways, it’s pretty easy. Understanding basic sword terminology, the construction, and the history behind swords is the first step for choosing the best sword for you. Just be sure to ask yourself three important questions.

1. What will I be using this sword for? Maybe the sword is simply for decoration. Or do you want to practice sword techniques? Think about the real reason you want to own a samurai sword and the choosing may be a little easier.

2. How much money should I spend on a quality sword? A beginner sword that is of high quality is typically around $200-$600. If you are thinking about simply decorating, you may want to spend a little less.

3. Do I know enough about Japanese swords to make a practical purchase? You probably don’t. But that’s okay, there is plenty of information out there about every type of Japanese sword that ever existed.

Decorative swords are fairly popular and make for a beautiful wall piece. There is nothing wrong with spending a little money for an authentic samurai sword, even if it is simply mounted on a wall. Typically, decorative swords are under $200. When it comes to a functional sword you will want to spend a little more, but try not to go over $1,000 if you don’t have to. You will want a tough, samurai sword that can endure a lot of abuse while maintaining the beautiful qualities of a piece of art. Because that is what a samurai sword is, it’s a beautifully crafted weapon that can be used in battle or as décor. You decide.
