I won't interject anything myself here, but I will leave you with a quote off the old SBG website from our own Manufacturer and Vendor partner, Tom K. which sums up the view most have concerning Ryansword:
...Avoid Ryansword at all costs is my reccomendation. maybe they are good for kids who want a look-at sword or folk who want a display piece but I don't consider them reliable for functional swords.
Personally, I'd trust his advice.

i have their 50$ wakizashi and for what it is its a pretty good sword, the 36 o katana i bought was junk though...it was an 18 inch handle with a 9 inch tang. i remounted it and now its a pretty good sword, but for pennies more you can buy a more reputable brand.

As everyone else has said, avoid them at all costs. Anyway, Don, if you're looking for a 2-400$ katana, then there's the Hanwei Raptor series, Dynasty Forge's Musha class, Kris Cutlery's 26 & 29, and Hanwei's Bamboo Mat (which is 410$, but close enough). All are very highly regarded around here.
