Where can one get cheap broadsword type metal swords in Austin? Not sharp, or fancy, just metal looking.

There's that whacky boutique at Burnet & North Loop.

They have cool swords but every time you try to buy something they act like it's the one family heirloom they could never part with. Pretty sure you have to haggle like a champ. But yeah I saw swords there. Swords.

Drew, I worry about you with sharp objects.

Does it have to be a broadsword? Stainless steel katanas are super cheap, even if it's the baka gaijin anime option.

Medieval. Katanas don't work.
I think I found some online, for around $55 including S&H. Just wondered if there was a theatrical supply company that was local.

Ask Toby Minor. He does and teaches fight choreography for local theater troupes.
