Quality modern samurai sword
I want a quality samurai sword. I don't care if it's made by traditional techniques. Quality new steel is good for me.
Ideas?

Just bought another Philippine sword or bolo. The pictures are not very good but what I can see appealed me so much that I tried the gamble.
Is someone able to tell me by the few better pictures what I buy?
