Humor us.

I can not stress this enough do NOT buy from a renaissance fair if you are looking for authentic. If you want an Authentic Katana or something to that effect you will most likely have to go overseas if you live in America. Antique stores are shifty but not a bad place to look. If you spot a Katana for under $300 its more than likely a replica/piece of shit. If you can find a local forge that would be good but you are gonna pay out the ass for it if you want quality.
