8-9 years ago, they were REALLY poor. However it is not good to hold a company based on your experiences 8-9 years ago. I own 2 of their swords, both were released several years ago (maybe 3-4 years?) and they are of exceptional quality. MRL was widely known to be a very poor company in the past. Many people still believe it is, however almost none of these people have had any experience with the modern MRL. I strongly recommend that you base your opinion upon their recent offerings - it's common knowledge that they missed the mark a long time ago, but it is apparent that they've found it now. Their newest swords even sometimes lack that steryotypical 'whippiness" and it's been reported that the quality of hilt manufacture has increased drastically to the point where they can be considered to almost have the same strength as their historical counterparts. Obviously, you get what you pay for at this lower end market, so nothing will ever be perfect (DS, MRL, Gen2, and others all have negatives and positives). But MRL is quite a bit better than it was in the past. I ask that you give them another shot - get one of these more modern swords.
