They are made in China by the same forge that makes the Cicada Forge range, but they are NOT the Paul Chen swords.
The Cold Steel katana does not have a hamon (temper line) and the handle wrap is cotton, not silk - but the cutting performance is right up there apparently.

This was a test a person at www.swordforum.com - basically the CS katana held well against much more expensive blades.
Cheers,
