Ok, here's the case: I've finally found a katana that is not right out of my price range...because it's being sold at an internet auction.

The katana is called Dragon spring handmade bushido katana. It has a full tang, hand forged and differentially tempered blade. A finnish site called Teräasekeskus is selling the same sword in the price of 295 euros.There it's said to be a well finished and durable sword. (price in the auction is now 85€)

I just can't seem to find any information about dragon spring(?) swords from the internet...

Has someone heard about them? Any information about quality etc. is very much welcomed.

Picture of the actual item being sold is included.

Thanks.
