or, more accurately, go to www.bladeforums.com, and the maker's area. If you're really serious about it, that's the place to go (and if you're not, go anyway, it'll be fun to watch you squirm)

sweet thanx, and its way to late for not cutting myself, shit u should call me stumpy

[SMonty30]

hi stumpy :o

Folding steel is NOT easy, especially with the skill to make a katana or wakazashi. You'd be better off just trying to make something non-folded that LOOKS like a 'samurai sword' - you won't need a decade of apprenticeship then. In any case, yeah - bladeforums is a great place to start.
