hey guys i have alot of knives wich i always sharpen my self but as far as swords go all i have is a cheepo ninja (straight) sword and fantasy sword and a katana now the katana is just a wall hanger NOT usableby any means its plain stainless steel it is not full tang and when i bought it it had what i guess would be called a false edge (no edge on the blade what so ever) since i actually put a edge on it with a metal file and sharpening stones i am looking into getting my hands on a battle ready or functional katana i have done alot of surfing the web looking and have come across MANY that say functional or battle ready ( full tang good carbon steel and very sharp edge) i have come across many in all shapes and sizes and prices now i am not looking to spend alot maybe around 100$ give or take i have seen some that look prity good around 100-140 $$$.....what i want is a good strong solid sword with good steel full tang blade and a razor edge (i can always sharpen it but would rather have it razor sharp out of the box so then i will only have to touch up every once in a while) but also i need it to actually do as the name describes and be functional it needs to stand up strong if i want to go cut up some mats, bamboo, or bottles...like i said i have found sooooo many i dont know wich way to look anymore i would really appreciate any suggestions of a specific companies or even a specific sword the one thing i would ask is if you post a suggestion please do so with personal experience of a sword you had or seen/used and were happy with i just dont want to get suggestions that are just hear say and may not be completely accurate that said again i would really appreciate any tips references or suggestions very much THANKS EVERYONE
