Sorry for the telegraphic style: of course, my comment referred to contemporary junk manufactured in China and sold on e-bay as " Russian yatagan", " Tibetan Tulwar" and "Housecarl sword with cuprum vagina".

yes true there is many good chinese made swords,,
but the,, things you see today are mostly ,, 10foot pole items , so to say,,
there is still several good sword makers in china,, it is a pitty that their work is not commonly available,,,
