Hi again. I guess what I'm looking for is something along these lines:

http://bugei.com/subcategory_6.htm

This company seems to take a very traditional approach to blade crafting (http://bugei.com/forging.html), which is really what I'm looking for. My interest is really in the history and the authenticity of the sword. I'm not every planning on using it, but I still want something that isn't hokey or fake. I guess when I said "functional" in my earlier post, I only meant to imply "authentic."

Incidentally, has any checked out this site? (Ikkyudo) It is a seller of antique japanese swords from various historical periods. Very expensive, though! If I had the money, this is what it'd like to get...

Thank you to everyone so far for their advice and well-wishes!
