If I were going to spend almost $1700 USD which is the equivalent of almost $1900 AUD I would be looking at a custom blade.

Does anyone know how to make fuchi kashira blanks? With that, you can make your own carvings on them

We did stray a bit off topic. We are trying to find fitting here, people!
Oy, this isn't looking too easy...

So it seems like a rather basic Tsuba? It does to me...but it seems that tsuba that have a look similar to that are hard to come by, and even if you do find one, it will probably cost a decent amount.

Compared to many designs, yes, the Tsuba is relatively simple.
Simplicity doesn't always translate to availability.

Yep, I have to agree here, its simply impossible to make this in your budget. The kurigata, and kojiri have to be custom made. The fuchi and kashira maybe as well depending on how far you're willing to deviate. Its just simply impossible to get this and stay in the budget you're talking about, unless you're able to make all of these parts yourself? You'll ned to basically make all the fittings yourself, starting with a bareblade O-katana. Come to think of it, the materials alone will probably cost you more than $200. Your other option is to wait a bit and buy the SLO whan they start producing it
