i've searched google, but i can't seem to find anything local, they're all online.

do any of you guys know where i can buy japanese swords and other collectible weapons in the lower mainland?

[wouwou]

I think there is one or two stores in Metrotown, cant remember their names though.

One by cineplex, one by the Bay I believe.

[twitchyzero]

[Honyoung]

[Grandmaster TSE]

[RRxtar]

[Fafine]

rather get those $200 kitchen knives than a katana from richmond night market

[boss_clad]

yeaaaa, no cheap night market bs

i've been wanting another one for so long. my last one broke..don't ask how lol

it does wonders for interior decoration (esp. on your wall over your bed)
and you get that invincible feeling when taking the sword out of its sheath,

fuck, the katana is the most beautiful weapon made by man.






we should all arm ourselves for 2012
for whatever's coming

[Timpo]

200 bucks for a katana? seriously??

[Timpo]

Here are some examples...Japanese swords are very expensive. Usually $8,000 to $20,000.
I've seen one for more than $100,000.
I don't know how you can get one for $200?

ok this one is decent looking and cheap-ish(?) katana
http://www.seiyudo.com/katama_and_tachi.htm
880,000yen($10,567 at today's rate)
this is the price in japan, after shipping and import duties...it will probably more expensive

If it's for decoration, just go with the night market crap. I got a few around the house and even took one camping as a fire poker. The gf has katanas that're family heirlooms, they've been used to kill :D

[//RacingSpirit>>]

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).

Ya and whatever is coming will just shoot you in the face and laugh at you for bringing a katana.:haha:

[twitchyzero]

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!

and if anything happens in 2012, what are you armed with, a hockey stick?

i don't fear death. that's bushido, my friend

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.
