I would like to buy a katana, probably 1060 carbon steel and i do not know if i should get the damascus or monosteel blade. Or maybe get a 1095 carbon steel katana. Can anyone reccomend a nice katana to buy maybe under 200 bucks and tell me the website, thanks.
I have bought many swords but if I need one to train with I end up getting a Paul Chen. He has several rather inexpensive (under $200) blades on the market that are decent blades. The reason I like them is Paul Chen pays attention to have them rather well balanced so they handle well when using them.
I also found that when choosing a blade a lot of it is personal preference. We share our swords with each other so one really gets the feel for many different types of swords and what goes best with ones body build, strength, etc.
It's like choosing a friend,...... very carefully.
