The price of a real sword

When you say real sword, it should be carbon steel. Depending on the manufacturing process, it ranges from hundreds to thousands.

Nowadays, many things bought in some sporting goods stores are for decoration. They are made of stainless steel, inelastic and fragile, so they can't really be used in combat.

Some carbon steels are made in machinery workshops. The output is relatively large and relatively cheap. You can buy it for about two or three hundred, but it is also brittle, with poor elasticity and rough workmanship.

Now there is a place called Longquan in the south, where swords are made by hand. Some of them are made according to ancient methods. They are very good, but they are considered to be handmade, so they are more expensive, ranging from one or two thousand to seven or eight thousand.

You can find "Longquan Sword" or "Wu Zhengjian" on the Internet.
