    Well I don't know anything about finding something in the UK.
    If you want a real katana, well it'll cost you a few grand for one, but just go with a martial art's catalogue. Oh yeah, why do you mean by falling apart?
    But if your training for katana why don't you buy a boken? Bokens are great.

    Well, first of all, if you do sparring, you should make shure that the steel of the blade can handle the stress you're exposing it to. There's nothing more dangerous than shrapnel of metal flying in all directions...

    If the blade is up to anything byond hanging on a wall and looking remotely as a proper sword, I recomend you go to a metal-worker, and asks him to rivet/weld the pieces properly together. If the tang isn't a complete mess, it should be possible to regrip the sword.
