What is the best kind of sword for use in fighting combat?

You want one that's really strong and sharp so that you can maim people

You’ll have hard time finding sword of quality on amazon. Ebay’s probably a bad bet too. Sword of choice is more dependent on your swordmanship style and tactic. If you like striking from distance you’ll have a different sword than a person who lives in an urban environment(like indoors of a standard house) and has to turn corners and engage in very close distance.

Also cost vs use is a key here. If you will be doing regular cutting training, like 3 to 4 times every week, then you will need a very good quality sword. If you are going to take it out for a cut one or twice a year then you really need bare minimum quality sword.

Don’t purchase a sword thinking of possibly one in a life time engagement that will probably never happen. In new condition a bare minimum blade(properly sharpened) will cut a person just as the best blade in the world will cut a person. It is when you make multiple cuts over and over that blade’s strength and edge retention will be tested. So unless you are arming yourself for 5 or more attackers I would get the minimum grade sword.(As you have guessed stainless steel is less than minimum grade. Avoid these at all costs)

If you are looking for a katana, then try looking up iaido swords(google, avoid amazon and ebay). It’s a style that does more cutting with a katana and you’ll be able to get acceptable grade sword for cutting. Make sure it states that it is for cutting since iaido also make metal swords that are purely for forms.(Which is great if you intend on not cutting anything.)

Lastly, I would suggest you train in a style before you purchase any of these. Learning to properly wield a sword is going to help you, and you’ll have an instructor that’ll teach you what to get and how to properly take care of the sword.

To answer your question, all I can say is the best sword to use in combat is the one in which you are most skilled with... Also Ebay & Amazon are terrible places to look, try these sites...

I have bought things from budoya and blades UK before, so I would defiantly recommend them... Be careful though, as they do sell a lot of fakes on there as well... Look out for any sword desc that says

"Stainless Steel"

"Simulated Temper"

"Aluminum"

and makes sure that they something like:

"Full tang"

"Double Pegged"

"Folded"

"Tempered"

etc etc

Does your little one remain dry for intervals of two hours or longer for the duration of the day? The is the time from some potty Training and to get the greatest consequence in only 3 days you will require this manual https://tr.im/AG37p

Start Potty Training is a plan that speedily gained popularity. The gist of this system is that you consider away all diapers, place on underwear, and don’t ever revert back to diapers.

Start Potty Training is a fairly basic program, straight forward and easy to stick to.

First of all, I hope you realize that you do not spar with actual blades. It is most likely with wooden swords. If you actually used real blades, you would probably not get the opportunity to try it again.

Part of the reason you have not had any luck in researching is because you have been searching the words 'samurai sword.' Use the actual names, as real deal websites that sell swords label them professionally with their actual names, like 'katana,' 'broadsword,' etc. You will know it is of decent quality if it is expensive.

DO NOT SPAR WITH LIVE BLADES!

Look at:

Cheness Cutlery

and

www.kultofathena.com

www.sword-buyers-guide.com

One can also find "metal training katanas". They look like the real deal, feel like the real deal, somewhat handle like the real deal, and yet are harmless and dull. Most cost a-lot.

You don't spar with real blades. Only a complete fool does that

You use either a bokken or a shinai. Unless you want to end up inthe hospital

It's always the sword you know how to use:
