I also collect samurai swords.
My one good one was made in Japan the Traditional way, folding the metal over and over and over and over again. I got it for a steal at only 800 US dollars. I was shocked. She is razor sharp, and has a beautiful hamon. I LUV HER.

hah....even in Sweden you are not allowed to but people just have them!!

To me, I think antique swords are much nicer than new ones, they give you a diffrent kind of feeling...strange

I agree, except most antique samurai swords are family swords, which would be impossible to get, as the family will never willingly give them up for any sum of money, or they are national treasures of Japan, or they are extremely expensive.
