Curiously, even A.G. Russell doesn't have much good to say about the Chinese Marbles, and he sells the stuff.

I have a Chinese Marbles #5.

While I think they are worth the money, I would really want to pick one out in person. The heads on a lot of them are loose and also the angle of the head relative to the handle on a lot of them leaves a lot to be desired. The edges need serious work to cut well.
