blessed swords

QUESTION: My husband keeps talking about blessed Katana swords.. He'll see one and say, it's not blessed...

What does that mean and is that important??
And how can you tell if a sword is blessed???

He said he wants to buy swords that are blessed..
Me being the wife haven't a clue what he means...

Thank you

QUESTION: Hi Cindy,

I can only assume that he means that it has been created with the assistance of a Shinto Priest. Which means he is looking for a genuine made in Japan Nihonto...

And THAT means that he had better have a spare US$30,000+ to spend... (yikes).
