It used to be that the tatami cutting crowd sneered at the gunto from WWII.

Then they realized how well that manchurian rail steel kept an edge....

Now even gunto have knock offs.

The best bet for a good using sword is a Paul Chen made from Swedish Powder steel. The fine grain structure gives them good impact resistance and edge retention. That and a new one will cost you less than most fakes.
