Okay maybe not high quality to the level that a $500 and up sword would be but I've seen razor sharp katanas, for $150 made of damascus steel. How does that not qualify as a good blade? I don't know maybe I'm missing something but I thought Damascus was the best. Here's a sword I found just as an example.

I think in the case of this sword, it's only considered Damascus due to the pattern. However the seller has 100% feedback which means that no one has been dissapoined with what they've gotten. I've seen several other listings like this and some even have examples of the swords cutting jugs of water or bamboo. If I'm missing something then let me know and I'm not trying to be an ass or anything.
Also, even though it's a short sword, I've heard a lot of praise for the banshee sword I mentioned and it's in the $150 category as well.
