Are they inferior because the steel is inferior, because it's not tempered properly or both?

They appear to be chrome vanadium steel. The new ones I bought were well made and the steel seems to be properly heat treated. They aren't one of the modern super steels, but they work just fine.

The chipbreakers needed to be shaped and fitted at the front end- they were pretty crude.
