But then again its also wider(spine to edge), as well as shorter overall. Anyway, if stainless really is that tough, I wouldnt mind a stainless, maintenance-free katana. My old kaze isnt too pretty right now =/
Infi is as close to maintenance free as it gets, and tougher than any stainless as far as i know. Personally, as has been mentioned before, if i were looking for a weapon rather than just something to practice forms and tameshigiri with, i'd go with one of the offerings in Infi, 5160, SR77, SR101, or S7.
Infi doesn't rust much if at all, but it's expensive, the others vary widely in price.
Why don't you just tell us what you want to DO with it. That will tell us a lot more about what to recommend.
Are you looking for something to practice with, something to use as a SHTF weapon, or something that you can take out and hack trees with?
The condor bush cutlass is CHEAP, and very very durable.
The condor Dadao is built like a tank, is still under $100 and you could cut a cow in half with it.
there are plenty of Sword shaped objects that will do many tasks well... until we know how it will be used, we're all just guessing
