    Default Places to buy good swords?

    I'm looking for a place to buy a good Shirasaya Katana for a good price. Most of the places I've been to have poor quality and super expensive (3x the prices find online for the same thing).

    If you know of a place, please let me know. thx

    I've seen a sword shop inside gwinnett place mall. An old asain dude sells them, im not an expert on swords but from what I could tell they look pretty old. Like old school swords. He also sells alot of different kinds of asain things, pretty cool store.

    budk has some cool stuff but their swords aren't great. not balanced and some aren't perfectly straight or razor sharp. cheap though.
