Best place to buy swords?

Unapologetic Imperialism eh???

Interesting responses from everyone. Its interesting that one can often find better prices in this global ebay-era market than in little shops in the country of origin. Here in my region its said that gun shows used to be great for Japanese swords...maybe 20 years ago. Afraid I missed out on that. But Philipino weapons seem much more available in this area.
Josh it certainly would be neat to buy wootz from places like Afghanistan; if one could do with a modicum of safety.

Why is it that so many of the places that made my favourite swords are current hotspots of violent activity???
