I threw up a little at those prices, haha. You could probably get a version from metal and wood for that ridiculous price!

You won't find that in the store anymore.

Yowza! Those look pretty sharp (as in cool, rather than keen). It's hard for me to imagine anyone shelling out $100 for something that's just going to replace any random stick a kid picks up. I guess someone does though.
For the rest of us, there are plenty of LARPing groups (SCA, swordfighters, etc) that use prop weapons and they've gotten quite good at making them both look nice and only capable of "subdual damage". If all else fails, a little pipe insulation around a bit of pvc wrapped in duct tape is a good classic.
And there are some places that sell rather nice wooden swords (Geek Chic does I think?) though I wouldn't whack anyone else with them.

There was a time in high school when my friends and I would beat the stuffings out of each other with bokken. We made up a sport with rules and everything because we're, y'know, civilized. But they're great props. Not a lot of different shapes and stuff, though.

There was a time in high school when my friends and I would beat the stuffings out of each other with bokken. I used those things in my martial arts class. Sadly, that particular class was out of session when I joined up. Those would make great props! But (like you touched on) they are very Japanese and so the style isn't seen too much in fantasy. However, it sounds like you and your friends may have had a "bokken" relationship. (sorry ).
