 I believe my Bling Fury is a Paul Chen and it has been used in combat at a Ren. Festival by a friend whom I let borrow it not knowing what he had planned for it. I got it back and there were nicks on the sword face and I asked him about it. He told me it held up nicely to the broad swords of some of the "knights" and broke some cheap swords. I was kinda pissed but happy at the same time. Go with the Chen's they are very well balanced and as close to Jap steel as we are going to get untill the embargo is lifted.
Bastard broke my scabbard also, I have the whole thing sanded down but can not find the time to bond the wood and re-laquer.
