To be honest, I wasn't joking.
I spent 2 grand US on a schon pool cue :P
(though I used to play amateur pool and was ranked in Viking's tourneys) Who knows, he/she could be a rich kid... I wasn't, but damned if I wanted that stick when I was 19. I busted my ass to get enough cash for it.

My friend collects swords ... High quality stuff ... I think they were made by Paul Chin. So it was a couple grand. The last one he showed me was custom polish silver blade super shiny w/ white handle.
I found his website ... Paul Chin <~~ Link
There are low end & high end stuff there from what I quickly saw.

yea your lower end handmade blade will start around 300-500 if memory serves(totally guesstimating from when i was looking around a few years back).
That isnt for a pretty sword that is for a functional sword that will still be a nice sword just not necessarily the same quality materials and definately not the same level of refining and the hours in making the blade.
No sword you get will be unbreakable if you use it improperly, if you plan to use it properly most decent non handmade blades will function just fine and cost MUCH less money

my Grandmother had a Katana which her uncle got during WWII (off a fallen Japanese officer). they used to use it on the farm to chop down fibrous plants, when she sold it to a collector early last year, its blade was nicked in many places with the leading edge very dull. though if it had been properly maintained it might have been a different story

if they were worried about properly maintaining it they probably wouldnt have used it for what they did as they make blades for that purpose.
