I'm going to seriously try not understanding that hypothesis ;^)
I can also vouch for Cold Steel products. I used to collect knives and own perhaps half a dozen of their knives (but no swords).
They have a reputation amongst knife aficionados for producing very high quality working knives at a reasonable price.
I always wanted a good sword but back in the day when I was an active collector, you either had to spend thousands of dollars to get a quality handmade, hand-forged sword, or settle for a wall-hanger (and who wants one of those?).
Now the Cold Steel Warrior Series Katanas look absolutely amazing to me. Four or five hundred dollars and you've got a serious, serious sword.
