PROS
for the price this set includes the longer sword which is REALLY great. I needed something for some trail clearing behind my new house, and this served the purpose really well. After sharpening the blade I had a great time cutting down vines and thorny plants. The smaller blade is perfect for display/decor, and the scabbard is nice for the price. After spending some time sharpening them properly, these blades performed well for me.
CONS
This metal, particularly the very tip of the blade, WILL BREAK, like how an exacto knife always loses their tip, so don't try to bend it or force it on things. Also, it isn't very sharp in particular right around the curve of the blade it isn't sharp at all- almost dull! The handle grips will slide around and bunch together, and one day I'm sure they will become loose and break off; I just leave them alone even if they bunch up during use.
The Metal may rust- I don't think it's stainless steel. The scabbard bends and is prone to hiccups as you slide the sword in. You have to be careful- you can't just force your swords to sheath- you have to guide them in.
BOTTOM LINE
I got this set for 23USD - Definitely worth it. Despite some of the cons I've listed, I think this set is above expectations for the price. They have an authentic appearance and upon closer observation they appear to be of good construction, and have this basic awesome feel to them. I didn't experience slipping or sliding with the handle grips, despite the fact that the grips slide down the handle and bunch together. You might be looking for a sword like the longer one, but don't really feel like the smaller one is worth your purchase. I'd pay 23$ just for the longer one, and really that's just what I did. I'm happy with my purchase and the shipping was 3 days early.

Good Value, Good QualityJul 07, 2009
By Jason Samuel Gootee
I recieved the Twin Blade set very promptly after ordering. The scabbard appears to be made of very durable material and the shoulder strap adjusts to the perfect length. All in all I am very Satisfied.

 Good for practiceJul 13, 2010
By S. Holloman
I have owned these swords for a few years. These guys are excellent for practicing technique. Yes, they could be sharpened and turned into a weapons but, these are not true combat swords. If you are into practicing martial skills and performing your techniques with a blade that has a danger factor and not risking cutting off a limb, then this is a great buy.
If you are a professional and are going into combat, goto cold steel or traditional Filipino blades.

Decent swords for the priceMay 07, 2011
By Cheyne Johnson
These swords are one piece construction point to pommel of 420 anodized stainless steel. The edges didn't arrive in perfect condition but they can be ground out. On these particular swords, smaller conventional sharpeners seemed to have little to no effect. The swords, in conjunction with the anodization, require a heavy sharpener at least at first to work out any kinks.
One of the other posters mentioned that the edges are similar to Xacto knife edges and chip away easily, which is true, but the solid single piece construction leads to a very durable product. I doubt these swords would break very easily, if at all.
The nylon grips are certainly sufficient, although they could be slightly more heavily wound for a better hold. Also, inside the wrapping is some kind of paper/faux leather tape or something that appears to have no purpose other than to look cheap.
The balance of the swords is basically in the middle of each sword, which is unacceptable. These are essentially glorified woodchoppers, or ninja machetes.
The sheath is actually a fairly decent utility item. It slings well, sheathes and unsheathes well. However, the nylon webbing is not very conducive to heavily oiled blades and would likely begin to exude oil after some time.
In short, for $14 and change, these swords are extremely durable, have a relatively nice sheath, and can hold an edge after some sharpening. Four stars because I like the purchase I made.
