Great Sword

The Blade show will be here in about 2 months, save all your nickels, dimes and quarters, go there and ask questions. Then make a decision. I personally like Cold Steel stuff, but there will be ton's of cool swords at the Blade show.
Try www.trueswords.com. Cool stuff there, get an idea of what you like. It's mostly about what fighting style you use with the sword. Do you have any formal training?
Hanwei makes some good ones.
Agreed, but I didn't think he was looking to spend that much his first time out.
It is at the Cobb galleria every year... Great show if you love blades of all sorts. Always a great tameshigiri demo!

Munetoshi t10 light cutter is a great entry blade for under $200
I dont do a lot of sword shopping. But i know enough to tell you to DO YOUR RESEARCH. They may look like big knives but the skill and time required to make a good one all but prohibits them from being economical. That being said companies like cold steel where you get a lot of bang for your buck may be the way to go. Like I said previously Im not a sword shopper but im willing to wager that decent katanas probably start at $500. not saying there arent any good ones cheaper but be very wary because there are tons of crappy ones. The last thing you want is to pay $200 and have a piece of pakistani steel not worth 20 bucks. They can look convincing to the new buyer so buy from somebody reputable. Even the good replicas may have all the details worked out but you could never cut anything with them.
I would look at the one Nicaburns suggested it sounds like he might be in the know.
