I get all my katanas/folding knives/etc from warriors and wonders on cambie between 17th and 18th ave. If you are looking for a decently nice one, be prepared to pay approx. $400. The nicer ones start at about $650 or so. There is one that I'm eying right now, because I missed my chance when they had it in stock. Its a katana made with L6 steel...truely an amazing sword, but with me debating on whether or not I should drop $1500+ on a sword, they sold the last katana.

If you don't mind spending a little more for a premium sword, this is a really nice one (I've got one myself).

if it's just for decor, is there a major difference to justify the price difference btw nightmarket ones and the real deal?

From 5ft+ away, no, you can't really see a big difference if you don't know what you are looking for. If you are going to display a katana, I'm sure your guests will want to examine it, and yes, there's a huge difference between a cheap one and a quality one.

holy shit dude, for real? would they sell them? ...i know they're heirlooms and all but, since with the recession here.. maybe they want some extra cash in their pockets

ask yo!

FYI this is a great store and the guy running it is very friendly and loves to talk. His prices on pocket knives are very competitive, but I've never looked into swords.
