I had a martial arts instructor who showed me a katana he owned, and it had no sharpened tip, and the edge was rounded, not just dullROUNDEDAnd it was metalI haven't been able to find a sword like itHe said he might have gotten it from Korea or Japan, but he isn't sure if he got it there or hereSo can anyone send me some links for a sword like this if possible? Thank you soooo muchHave a great day.
What you are describing is commonly called an iaito or mugitoIt is essentially a training sword without a sharpened edgeIn many cases the kissaki (tip) is still sharp/pointy, but several manufacturers round off the tip to improve the level of safetyIaito are generally either made using a zinc/aluminum alloy, which is very common since the manufacturing of steel swords is highly regulated in Japan, but many manufacturers outside of Japan have steel iaito available on the market as wellThere are a number of stores that sell iaito onlineThe cost can be anywhere from under $100 to well over $1000 depending on the quality of the fittings and construction.
Sony A7s would be a good choice.4k video and Xlr audio with great work in low light.
