    Chinese steel varies in quality just like everywhere else.

    I can say that there are some kinds of steels they aren't as good at yet, or at least aren't consistently branding so that you can find them, but that mostly comes down to heat treatment of near-finishee steels that is current a semi-"artisinal" market. I'm sure that will go by the wayside in a few years as they develop better and better tools steels.

      Yes I agree, but since I work in manufacturing I talk about material a lot with my coworkers and they all swear that ALL Chinese made ANYTHING is just bad.
