Not all swords are real. A real sword will have proper harmonic/dynamic balance, proper blade/hilt proportions for the given size/design, proper tapers (distal or otherwise) to aid in keeping the dyanamic/harmonic balance, proper edge geometry (it's not a knife, and it's not a axe) and will properly be heat treated. It shouldn't be as hard as a knife, but it shouldn't be that much softer either.
With that being said-real swords do not come cheap. Even the very few real swords that are manufactured cost in the hundreds and handmades usually cost in the thousands.
Unfortunately-I seem to have forgotten the name of one of the few manufacturers and I don't know of any others.

Knife and sword do not mean the same thing.
Swords today are used only competitively, in formal combat (martial arts) and fencing. Swords historically can be of many shapes, sizes and weights. Swords are still used today as part of formal military uniforms and ceremonial weapons.
Knives are shorter than swords and also come in very many styles. Combat (fighting) weapons include the Combat Knife, Throwing Knife, Bayonet and Trench Knife. Knife-throwing remains a competetive sport.
Knives are also made as tools (for example, diving knife, fishing knife, scalpel, survival knife,), utensils (kitchen knives, cutlery,) and as religious or military ceremonial implements.
