James Piorek from www.bladerigger.com
has an awesome katana which you customize to your specific needs. Also, Mr. Phill Hartsfield from southern California has various katanas. Michael Bell is another swordmaker; he forges his own steel!
BTW, all these makers have a long delivery time...

Don Fogg makes a nice one for a very reasonable price. Contact Don for waiting time etc...

Howard Clark, he's the guy that makes Bugei's custom line:

Randal Graham, another great Gaijin smith, and forge brother of Howard.

Best Katana in the world for the money is made by Don Polzien.

Your asking for $1,000 and above, better figure on starting at $3,000 and above.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Go to the Sword forum. This place had excellent makers. Good info for both smiths and buyers. Bell, Fogg, Randal and Clark are all excellent makers. all of these guys are on the sword forum, bladesmith cafe.
