They are not -trying- to make it they -are- making it. Usually, the steel they make which is called tamahagane, is either a higher carbon or a lower carbon, with the lower carbon wrapped in the middle of the higher carbon. But yes you can make a sword or more properly a knife from the high carbon content tamahagane.

Yes you can make it yourself, many singular smiths make they're own, but do not offer it for sale. it takes a lot of effort to produce tamahagane, and it is not something to be taken lightly. I guess you can ask around to some of the prominent American smiths working in the Japanese style who make they're own, and see if they would sell you some, but it is not a steel for beginners to use either.

I will not, and I don't know of anyone else who will. Sorry, make your own.
