"I don't really have enough money to be fussy.. sub $300 swords are great and all, but how about some really cheap swords, sub $100 or even sub $50?"
Actually, there are a quite a few good cheap swords on the market these days. Though there is, as you might expect, a disproportionally large amount of cheap junk too - and at this price point, you have to be especially vigilant to avoid just throwing your money down the drain (which is an even greater loss if you are trying to get cheap swords because you are on a very tight budget).
There are two ways to find some half decent, tried and tested cheap swords - the first is by category, which you can search below:
I'm quite partial to Viking Swords, are there any just under $100?"
I've heard that there are some very cheap military swords available for under $50, or what about even some exotic Machere?
How about Katana? I've heard that there are some great quality machine made Japanese swords for around $50. Is this true?
But below I have picked my top three pics for sword collectors on a seriously tight budget (and don't dismiss the Machete's! As far as durability, sharpness and bang for the buck goes - they are actually exceptional value, and there are a lot more varieties out there than what you might find at the local hardware store!).
Recommended Cheap Swords Reviews
"Bamboo"
Musashi Swords
PRICE: US$80 to $99
OVERVIEW: Machine made blade, with hand clayed REAL hamon, and actually pretty darned good quality fittings, this is a fast, lightweight - ALMOST a 4 star - sword, and for the price, is really something quite revolutionary..
"Troopers Sword"
Atlanta Cutlery
PRICE: US$39
OVERVIEW: More 'historically inspired' than accurate, but considering its $40 price tag, this is a decently made functional sword for an incredibly low price...
"Kopis and Seax Machete"
Cold Steel
PRICE: US$15 to $20
OVERVIEW: Another couple of heavy duty, low cost Cold Steel Machetes tested on hard targets with excellent results.
You can also see some more of the $15 to $20 Machete in action
here - definitely great bang for the buck.
I hope that you have been able to find some cheap swords that suits your needs and your budget.
