katana/samurai swords?
if i were to buy a real japanese samurai or katana sword that say they are made in japan. (i know the fakes will say made in china lol.) but how can i tell the difference between the real and the fakes if they both have japanese symbols on them. are there curtain specs, like the curve in the blade, length, etc.
dude im pretty sure the japanese makes some cheap fake ones.
Your best bet to buy a good katana is to stick with a know/reputable seller. Bugei Trading company sells excellent katana. Expect to pay for the quality. If you are on a tighter budget Cheness sells pretty good katana for the price. Expect to pay at least $230 or more for a Cheness katana and more for the Bugei.

By the way I practice Iaido with the Kaze Ko-Katana from Cheness. It cost me about $240. The quality is good and the shorter blade length fits my style and my body size (I’m short).

EDIT:
I thought I’d heard about all the variations on what is and what is not a legitimate Katana. I see some answers here that are saying that the sword must have this symbol next to the maker name and something about some kanji engraved in gold,…etc. I don’t know where you guys get this stuff. There may be cases of that, but it is certainly not the norm. There are some antique swords that have kanji on the tang. Then again I know of swords that are antique, yet have no kanji at all. The comment about the handle length really gets me too. I was told by an authority on Japanese swords that the samurai actually tended to have longer Tsuka/Handles than many of the swords you see today. The comment about Tsuka having two pegs is also not correct. A katana having tow pegs is a good thing. but most have only one. That certainly does not mean that it is less than a good sword. Come on guys!
NOTE: some of the Paul Chen swords are OK. The problem with them is they are as heavy as a lead pipe. I had a Golden Oriel a few years ago. It tired me out holding it up. I quickly sold it and got a better sword that is well made and much lighter. The Paul Chen would have been able to stand hard use, but It would be so slow to use that I’d get killed using it against a skilled person with a more reasonable weight.
