You should check out swordforum.com, they have a lot of reliable information on all types of swords. I own a Paul Chen Orchid forged Folded powdered steel katana, runs about a grand but you can find deals here and there. I also own a Paul Chen Musashi, its a forged steel katana, very nice. Its a bit beefy and long but a great sword. You can probably find one around $500. I've heard some decent things about the Cold Steel katanas as well. Again, check our sword forum and you'll get some great info.
