I bought one online from www.awma.com. It's Asian World of Martial Arts.They are based in Philadelphia but I had it shipped to me in Florida, no problem. Century is another famous martial arts supply house but I don't know their website. You could probably Google it.\n\nOthewise open your Yellow Page and look for "martial arts supplies"\nor call a couple of martial arts schools and ask them.

Camillus of Elmira, N.Y. makes a K-bar style fighting knife. It has better steel than the K-bar, a much superior knife. It out performs the K-bar hands down and cost less. I am not just talking, I carried one through Viet-Nam.\nWas unable to find the web-site that you were on. I went to http://www.budk.com and they have the knife I described for $36.99. The stock number is #CAM-5684. This company used to sell only cheap knives, but the last year or two have been carrying quality stuff.\nI still have my Camillus knife almost 40 years later, and will not give it up for anything.\n Good luck and God speed.

Ownership in your home, no.\nTaking one into a public place without reasonable excuse- yes since it has a blade longer than 3 inches.\nReasonable excuse? Transporting one home after buying it, taking it to a Samurai Sword Lovers' Convention etc.\nWaving it around above your head shouting "Sayonara" - no.

Emily,\n\nif you're looking for a Shinken (live sword) I would check out the swords from Paul Chen Hanwei. He has a 'practical plus' model that's not ridiculously expensive, and quite legitimate in it's construction. It's a good alternative to those 1,000+ $$ models you'll see online often. The tsuka is pre-Meiji era length which adds for a cleaner cutting stroke, the tsuba is excellent quality, as is the blade.\n\nNow, with it, I'd reccomend a carbon steel cleaning kit as well....since it's a real sword and not some knock-off stainless replica garbage...it will rust if not cared for.\n\nAlso, Bugei.com has some nice pieces as well, especially if you're looking for additional gear such as kusarigama, kusarifundo, hakama, and so forth.\n\nninpo ikkan!\n\npeace, and good hunting.

hmmm. well i live in canada(not in toronto in mississauga!) and i am sorry to tell you that what you are looking for, you wont get here. in canada, many things are......kind of hidden that means only the one who is purchasing usually knows where he got it from! and if you live in toronto, check out fliers, that's what i do! \n\ni know this wasnt much help, but you will have to ask someone in person, e.g someone who HAS a bike, in order to get the answer

You best bet is to pick up some spare sheet metal and check to see if anyone you know owns a beverly cutter. (a tool used for cutting thick metal.) You could then cut it to shape. Bear in mind that any homemade sword is not going to be safe for livesteel fighting.
