Ok, so you want to make your own sword, but don't have the skills, tools, or time, to forge the blade yourself (I understand). Here are some links to get you started.

Albion Swords
Albion is considered one of the best sword manufacturers, but their models can get a bit pricy. But have no fear, they sell bare and rusted swords for buyers who want a less expensive option. http://www.albion-swords.com/bareblades.htm and http://www.albion-swords.com/moat.htm

Kult of Athena is one of my favorite places to shop for swords and I highly recommend them. They even have a page that sells bare blades, ready for customization. http://www.kultofathena.com/bareblades.asp

Baltimore Knife and Sword also sells their swords without blades, both finished and unfinished. They even offer custom bare blades and you can upgrade to a pattern welded (Damascus) blade at your request.
