does that mean if we do not bring it in public it wont matter?
(like collecting it in private area, homes , etc)
anyway who says petaling street dosent sell katanas
theres lotsa them in central market
but with stupid prices, bad bad quality
if u're a collector u know it
if u still going to collect that kind of quality things means u're still noob
by the way, japan dosent permit thier registered katana to be exported that easily,
unless u have some rank in kendo or kenjutsu and is a sensei
dont be fooled if someone tell u he is selling a katana from japan and is registered
its probally from china

To get a registered katana from Japan would probably cost around the range of RM10k if from awell-know master and high number of folds. Paul Chen's katanas are already very good and already very pricey.

For those collectors who buy solely for ornamental purposes, I wouldn't blame them for buying from central market. That is what they wanted. To them it is a decoration meant to sit in a cupboard. They probably don't know what is a full tang.

By the way, anyone knows where to get choji oil? Mine's going to run out soon...
