He can send his sword to Sensei James Williams from bugei.com or to cold steel. They will polish and sharp sword. They are both good.
Paul Chen swords? hm, yes they made swords for bugei.com, but also these swords are not same Paul Chen swords that you may find on any other place. There swords on bugei.com are made exclusive just for bugei.com. Also as they said on bugei.com their swords are not same swords that were used by Samurais, or for battlefield. They are good, really good, but not best.

Flea market swords are the best. After all, I'm not going into battle with it. If I ever did have to fight with it, it would be a thrust or hack while they're back is turned...but then again, a sword isn't very practical in my tiny apartment either.

Iaito are blades made from lighter, nonferrous alloys like duralumin and meant specifically for the practice of iaido, or the classical budo of iaido, which came from the combative iaijutsu of various older koryu styles. The reason that these blades are made are, I believe, to prevent excessive fatigue and wrist strain so as to allow for longer practice sessions and, since there is no tamashigiri (live cutting) in iaido (at least, as far as I know), it saves you having to spend a lot of time maintaining a blade that will never cut anything.

Thanks, mate.
