"Excellent" is not a guarantee that it won't break...  I lost a
never-before-used "excellent" condition shortsword in round 3 of a fight.

Is it possible that all the easilly broken weapons were bought at Gerting
Bros.?  Perhaps they use inferior quality materials so that while the weapons
*look* good, they are basically (as you say) made of aluminum foil.

(Watch out, he's got an aluminum foil foil!)
