I have received three swords from LK Chen. Unfortunately you'll just have to follow the links because I cannot cut&paste the images easily.

All three are sharp. The blades are fine and light. You could really do some work with these. They are begging to stab and slice. I'm very impressed with the quality and the feel of these blades.
The Han Dao is short and small, like a thin machete. This might become my new pillow sword.
The Flying Phoenix is simple and plain. It has a blade like a rapier. Makes me want to stab something.
The Magnificent Chu Jian is staggeringly beautiful with a tightly woven patterned steel grain and marvelous balance. It is the pick of the litter. I can hardly wait until I can take that one out for a spin.
This comes to just shy of $1K worth of steel. And I was happy when I got my $200+ Mortal Kombat box last week.
I emailed them to confirm that the shipment arrived in good order and thank them. I inquired about wholesale rates. Only one company is distributing them now in the US - Kult of Athena. TC or YMAA might open up some markets because KoA is all about general swords, not specific to the Kung Fu community. When I broached the subject of wholesale, they said 'sure' and 'now that we know that the shipping works, let us know if you want samples of other weapons'.
Life is good.
