Hi guys, I am at present in Hong Kong and would like to buy a Katana Sword. Do you know some Shop or Smith where I could get a good Katana? In price range up to 400 USDollars.
Greetings from Hong Kong

Alot of the Ebay sellers ship from Hong Kong... you could save a bundle on shipping (which for those swords tends to be the bulk of the cost) by being there already... but you would want to find one that does not suck.

What? You mean they don't sell them on street corners in Hong Kong? Seriously...as Sean said, a great many eBay sellers ship from Hong Kong (the JP can chop iron seller comes to mind) and usually, the cost of the sword is inflated via shipping charges. But...finding one that does not suck is going to be difficult. Unless of course, you're just wanting a display piece in which case, you're in the right place! By the by, Phrozin...I wonder if he meant to find any actually IN Hong Kong...those smiths you linked him to are in Japan. I don't know how close that is, but I'm sure its further than a hop, skip and jump away.

Tru,I was just looking what I could find,but agree with you.I was looking for smiths as 'post-name' suggest,not many I could find though in short space of time,I think one of the sites I gave,gives actually advise as how to proceed in obtaining one,but not for the $400Us range. I would agree with you all to rather shop online and talking of such why not look here,that where I found my way to my first authentic Katana ;D
