Body: When purchasing a sword, several factors should be considered, including its purpose, material, and budget. Beginners should first determine the purpose of the sword: is it for display, practice, or collection? Depending on the purpose, different types of swords can be chosen, such as wooden swords for practice, decorative swords for display, or sharp swords for combat. Additionally, the material (such as high-carbon steel or stainless steel) and craftsmanship will affect the sword’s performance and price.

Selection Tips:

1. Clarify Purpose: Display swords are usually more ornamental, while practice swords need to be durable.
2. Material Choice: High-carbon steel swords are sharp and strong, but they require rust prevention. Stainless steel swords are easier to maintain.
3. Budget Consideration: High-quality swords can be expensive, so it’s recommended to choose based on your personal needs.
