how bout that one? it seems to be good?
The first one you listed would NOT be suitable for tameshigiri, or the practice of cutting tatami mats. Personally, I have never seen the sword, but knowing that it is stainless steel makes it not a cutting sword. Like the person above me said, carbon steel and other metals would be more suitable for cutting. Also, I have seen many different online stores for katanas, and I know that topicool is not to be one of the best. It is a large store, but many items are overpriced.
This website is my favorite to buy and search up katanas. You can find a very basic and useful guide for buying a katana and the staff are helpful if u contanct them.

contact me if you have any more questions.
Edit:
Another note is that you would not need more than 500 dollars to buy a suitable cutting sword. Many good ones can range from 100-1000. Beginner swords are 60 mininum.
If you do chose to buy a practical katana that is not made of stainless steel blade, make sure you TAKE CARE OF IT. I made a mistake of not cleaning my first sword and it ended up rusting. Rust can be taken off however by certain products.
