Remember, you get what you pay for....
And $100 is pretty cheap for a good sword. The Spanish-made ones my unit has were about $400 each, and they're still in excellent shape after 10 years of service. We bought some $100 Taiwanese swords five years ago, and they're starting to come apart...
If you're in a JROTC unit, and if this team is for JROTC, you can probably order them through your military service. I'm not sure, I'll have to check up on that. But then you don't pay a cent, the taxpayers will pick up the tab!
