If he wants a very good sword, he has to avoid those lard-ass heavy 440A production swords sold through martial arts rags, and surplus shops. Even worse are those "tin" demo swords made in China.
Good samurai swords are not 440 or ATS stainless-steel. Caring for the sword is part of the tradition.
The very best thing to do is to contact some iaido (art of sword-drawing) schools and they will give you some sources. If there are no iaido schools in your area, use this thing you're on called the "internet" to do a search on IAIDO.

While Scott Slobodian makes some art swords that cost more than my car, he also crafts a usable version (Mushashi series) for much less. However, it's probably still gonna costs a mint
Slobodian's site which has some drool-worthy pictures: http://www.slobodianswords.com/
Don Fogg also makes some superb Japanese style blades at a more affordable cost but his website says he's not taking any new orders. http://www.dfoggknives.com/
