Advice on getting a katana

Thanks for all your input!

Got a modern made one. Good for a starter and will fun to do some chopping and learn a few sword forms while looking at antiques.

Turns out that two of the bladesmiths making custom swords mentioned in Antonio's post live near me. I am in contact with them.

I am still very interested in collecting antiques like the swords I already have, but seeing a lot of beauty and fun in the Japanese pieces.
