Fighting Swords

Does anyone know where I can find swords to use in my movie that can withstand constant blows with out breaking the bank?

Thanks,

You could get some combatsteel swords of course. They should work quite well.. But they're really expensive though :/

There is a thread further down about this. I wrote some tips there that you might find usefull!
good luck!

Go to www.gungfu.com and go to the swords section. They have a bunch of samurai, tai chi, broad blade etc. wooden swords that are durable (they are usually used for sparring practice). They sell for about $20 each, give or take, and if you paint the blade chrome/silver it should look really cool and hold up on film for action scenes. That's what I'm doing for a samurai film I'm currently making. Good luck!

No offence, Deli, but that would probably look bad.. The wooden blade on those are too thick!
