Default Japanese Swords
I'm fascinated by Japanese swords and would really like to learn more about the different parts, forging techniques, and their history as well. Can anyone recommend some informative books or websites on the subject?

Paul Chen's Hanwei line has some of the best katanas money can buy, and the Practical line is comparatively affordable with amazing quality, though the Kami line is argueably the greatest. My personal favorite blade of his is the Tsunami katana. Find some of the swords at: http://www.swordsdirect.com/paul_chen_professional.html
