They'll be real disappointed to find out the best Katana are made by some guys in Longquan and not a Japanese blacksmith with 800 years of family blacksmithing history. At least for 1 grand you're not getting a stainless steel wall hanger with no tang tho.
Fun fact: those shit mass produced katanas you can buy online and put to dust on your closet are probably better quality than average samurai footsoldier sword from XVI century.
The people writing the history don't understand that the only legit gaijin samurais are white guys from Iowa who ordered a $1000 katana online
