For what purpose?
Huanuo and Dynasty Forge stuff looks good. Seven Stars and Kult of Athena look like good places to buy their stuff from.

I would go for the sevenstarstrading.com/site/longquanjian/ as it's an accurate replica of a real historical jian, and Scott Rodell of Seven Stars Trading only sells highly durable historically accurate swords that pass his high standards. I think this sword is made by Huanuo as are quite a few of the swords sold there. I'm actually saving up to buy this sword myself.

Huanuo Sword Art (Fred Chen) also makes both Cold Steel and Dynasty Forge blades and fitting to their company's specifications I believe.

I've been impressed with the Hanwei Chinese Cutting Sword ($295). It's once again available after a long hiatus. Don't wait. Designed by noted martial artist and teacher Scott M. Rodell, the Hanwei Chinese Cutting Sword provides a purpose-built weapon for the art of cutting in Chinese Swordsmanship. The handle is long enough (7 1/8") for two hands, if you want that option. Whereas the admittedly fine Dynasty Forge models all have handles of about 4" in length.  |

I just posted in the JKOO thread about my own Liu Ye Dao from them.

These are my Sinosword Liu Ye Dao and 2-handed Jian. I don't remember what historical sword the jian is a reproduction of and they don't offer it anymore. My CS Gim, 1st Gen Carp, and my Strongblade Warspike as they were displayed at my house before I moved. 
More of the Jian: 
Alas, the jian was not assembled quite as well as the dao, with a hollow, screw-on pommel, and the typical hollowed grip for a han jian, but they have since corrected both of those problems on the rest of their Han jian. Also, the black cord is bootlace, which definitely detracts from the red cotton cord. Still, nothing wrong with the blade and the tang is monumentally beefy. And at $500 delivered, I think I did quite well.
