I would suggest a Xinan2018 in 1060 on Amazon. It’s the best sword for the price I’ve ever seen. It’s my primary every day cutter. It’s awesome. I have some expensive katana that look better and are made of better steel etc…I always seem to come back to the xinan2018. I just love it. The heat treatment on their blades is top notch. Sword is tough!
It’s Musashi tsuba and 1060 through hardened mono steel. Select it in the menu.
Their description on Amazon confused me when I bought it because it tries to cram 4 swords into one description. Took me a while to realize what I bought. It’s seriously a far better sword than I ever could have imagined. My favorite purchase. Once I put a coat of lacquer on the ito wrap, and sharpened it, I fell in love with it.
