ok i am going to buy a new katana sword and i have many questions cuz all my life i was training wushu and kung fu and i never used this weapon. so first how many kinds japanese swords and what are they and whats the best length of a sword, i am 6" if you ask. and does all swords even the unshaped ones have to be cleaned and does you have to unsheathe the sword to clean it or there is any other new way to clean it and what could happen to the sword if i didn't clean it but also didn't use it. and who are the best sword makers and where can i buy a good sword up to 200 $. and is there any online places or lessons to learn just the basics of the katana or i have to go to a master.
At 6 feet, you're taller than the average Japanese. But length, contrary to popular insistence, is more a matter of preference than any set rule. Many tall kenjutsu experts favor the maneuverability of shorter blades, while many shorter experts prefer the reach of a longer blade.
If you don't clean and oil it regularly, even in shirasaya, it will rust. Yes, you must remove it from saya to clean it. And yes, unsharpened ones are metal as well, and have the same problems. The best sword makers are Japanese traditionalists, generally having earned the title of living national treasure, and many winning the Masamune Prize. However, decent swordmakers for around $200 would be forges like Cheness ( http://www.chenessinc.com/ ).
And no, you can't learn the basics online. You'll need to find an instructor. Do yourself a favor and buy a bokken first if your intent is to learn how to use it. You won't slice your kneecap off practicing with a wooden sword.
