>>37337For entry level swords the general price is 200-350 USD but the market is kinda fucked right now because of tarrifs. You can find fuctional japanese swords for 100 bucks, they wont be pretty tho.
If you wanna meet other nonas your better off sticking to HEMA, specifically Rapier Fencing, though I've known more than a few girls who were into german longsword fencing. Unfortunately japanese/chinese swords have the issue where you have to deal with a bunch of old fatasses and autistic anime watchers.
>nevermind I met my bf because he was designing a custom katana based off demonslayer lololol For Tsuba, you can honestly just go on etsy and find cheap chinese stuff for like 50 bucks, you can find nicer modern Japanese tsuba for around 150. The antiques arent too expensive but you gotta be willing to check listings weekly and wade through pages of rusty iron to find a cool one
For euroswords, if you just want a cheap piece of metal that looks cool, theres a brand called deepeeka thats sells stuff in the 150 range, these are purely decorative tho, dont wack stuff with them or theyll break. I dragon king Katana, there on the more expensive side but they look really nice and base all there designs on historical pieces.
