how good is tamahagane steel?

This is a very beautiful knife. Yeah, I understand the process of Japanese Tamahagane Making. I have found katana that are made from China. Well, they have a Tamahagane but how about the quality? Same process of Japanese Arts?

Yes Zubeng forge Rich Chen is one of the few in china that knows the process and learned it in Japan. The only difference is that he triple folds 15 times.
 
Wow, old thread. Started reading and saw Paul Champagne mentioned in the present tense, its been a while since he passed but if anyone is interested in making swords from scratch look him up. There was a documentary he did on his process once, turning sand into a sword is very neat.
