Hi there
Check out these guys. They make real live blades that are hand made in a forge. They don't look special but the blades are as tough as old boots and are designed for tatami cutting exercise.

Read the sword guide on their page. It will explain the difference between the katanas that are used for kata and the ones for cutting. Plus it breaks down the metal types used.
Best wishes

Be Prepared to pay a lot of money even if you can find an original sword.They are not made for just anyone.Beware a lot of fakes are out.

Umm i would say the middle priced one and you can always just ask the owner of the person in the store you buy it from
