Thanks

Well there is huawei swords who could make one for you for under 100 bucks...I have a shobu katana on order from them so I´ll see how it goes after I get it from them. The only main issue i have heard about them is having cracked tsuba cores.

Habaki, seppa, tsuba and so on... all very cheep grade. This is to be expected at the price they are selling them, tho. The blades seemed very decent.

Yes I have read some review about huawei swords and the blade seems decent, and very sharp too. Perhaps it is cheaper to get the blade only.
I guess a shobu wak is not very historical, but it would complement nicely a shobu daisho...someday lol.
