I know exactly where to buy one, problem is I don't have the money 🙁
There indeed is A HAtori Hanzo and he does make very good steel blades... for cooking.
Hatori Hanzo
....Im trying to come up with some names but really all i can think of is the Masamune guy. really if any of these guys were still alive they could make the most wicked blades, stuff about just putting the sword in water can change the current of a leaf and stuff......not too sure about the folklore tho
but would probably cost 8 grand for one of thier blades, but If i had the money........

An extreme amount of care goes into just that--ensuring that the scabbard is planed to exactly fit the individual sword. If it is made properly, it WON'T get stuck in the scabbard. Plus, they have to test each sword before they sell it to whoever ordered it.
Like I said earlier, I prefer longswords but that's because so many katanas have all that unnecessary decoration and it just looks corny.
