Steps：
- Realize what you will do with the sword. Choosing a sword for martial arts is substantially more problematic than choosing a decorative sword.
- Do some research on the type of sword you have selected. Be sure you understand your desired sword completely， and that you meet any required technical aspects before you purchase one.
- Select a type of sword. Understand that different swords have different functions and purposes, then select one to your liking. Do not be influenced by popular culture or peers.
- Browse online to get an idea of value. It is recommended you make the purchase in person to ensure that the sword meets required technical aspects. The internet can be misleading.
- Enjoy.
Warnings：
- A metal blade is dangerous regardless of whether or not it is sharp. Employ common sense before handling.
- Weapons, real or not may or may not be illegal in your area. Check with local law enforcement before purchasing, or displaying in public.
- Avoid using decorative swords for practice. Decorative weapons are generally not capable of enduring the stress of practice, and may break, causing injury or death.
- Avoid combat with swords altogether. Not only is it illegal, it often ends in injury or death unless both parties are qualified to handle a live (sharp) blade.
- Do not attempt to reenact anything in movies or video games, even without anyone else around. The manner in which the blades are handled is often inaccurate in films, and replicating such practice may result in injury or death.
- A sword does not establish your superiority. Patronizing seemingly unarmed persons may result in your arrest, injury, or death.
- NEVER point a metal blade at any living organism. Though you may not intend to thrust, stab, slash (etc), you still may trip, be forced forwards or drop the weapon, injuring or even killing another being. Handle blades (even decorative ones) for what they are - They are designed for killing and nothing less.
