here's are two by yoshindo and shoji yoshihara that should meet your criteria:

you could also talk to joe k. (swordguyjoe)... he might know of some ikkansai shigemasa blades out there -- not hard to find ones with horimono

Thanks guys! yea I always survey those sites daily. There's always Mukansa swords out there but it's actually really difficult to find one sword with ALL these attributes:

 

-Katana shape (so not a tachi)
and
-Bohi (horimono a big plus)

and

-Sword made after the becoming Mukansa (not 100% must but would prefer it)

and

-7k to 15k USD range. 

 

Strangely 3+ years ago it was pretty easy to find a sword with all these characteristics but now a lot harder.
