Are they really cool? What level is their quality? Any experiences? I did some search but couldn`t find too much information or reviews.

A quick attempt to "build your own" katana using regular Longquan typical fittings ended up being around $450, which is $150/200 more than expected. I personally would never pay $450 for the end result I got, which I deem to be in the $200 category max. At a glance, I don't see anything different from any other similar vendors. Don't buy.

from what I remember, their base models start at more expensive than Hanbon and Ryansword. I want to say I've seen a few reviews on YT by them but none that I have watched (aka none by Matthew Jensen).
i don't recall any reviews on them from SBG or Reddit

I find this very interesting. Some book, same table cloth, same fittings. They are selling Zsey and their price is lower than discounted Zsey web site price? :o
Is cool katana selling Zsey and Dragon sword products as a vendor? Also the katana that looks similar has a sku code starting with SKU: ZS-
Zsey www.swordjp.com/product/wing-tamahagane-katana
Also this one has the same table cloth and background in the pictures
Same tsuba at Dragon Sword on a Wakizashi and then same picture set up on a katana at coolkatana

This is all common practice of not producing all parts in house so there is a fittings trade, even one forge selling to many different vendors and the least likely option but something you have to consider is just stealing photos. To be safe just order from Zsey. But if you wanna go for a discount, pay using Paypal on coolkatana so you can get your money back if you get sent what isn't exactly in the photos.
EDIT; Actually looked at your links. Prices are the same for me? This is just another vendor selling stuff from the Zsey forge. Pretty common no need to stress. I'd actually buy from coolkatana cause I bet they have a slight discount compared to Zsey so they can move more products.

Swordjp seems to adjust the price depending on location, metinemre might see different prices.
