Any passable foam or plastic Katanas out there for cosplay?

I've never gone looking for something like this and was hoping for some assistance please.

I'm putting together a Samurai armor and would like to include a Daisho or a Katana and Wakizashi without having to walk around with a real metal sword.

Suggestions? I would be fine with buying one but I might be willing to try my hand at making them too.

Mostly looking for what to look for, stay away from, etc.

try searching for "larp sword" or "foam sword" on Etsy, you'll find a few suitable katanas out there.
