Does anybody know any Chinese baldes that are Limba-Limba-ayous-Limba-Limba similar to Korbel and Primorac?

Not exactly what you're looking for, but the Sanwei Fextra is limba-limba-ayous-ayous-ayous-limba-limba. It's a 7 ply but it's thin at 6.0mm and the 3 ayous layers are said to behave like a single core layer, and so it's often remarked that the Fextra is a 7 ply that plays like a 5 ply.

Xiom Offensive S, $48 at TT11. (on sale right now at $36). It is limba/limba/ayous/limba/limba but its handle is slightly nonstandard, flatter and wider than usual flared handles. Other than that it plays very nicely, great feeling. 1320Hz, 6.1mm thick, 83g.
Also the DHS B2 at TT11, it is Limba/??/ALC/... so almost a 5-ply. 1320Hz, 6.0mm, 91.9g.

Thanks.
DHS B2 is Limba ayous though, just like Long 5.
I think you are correct, I compared my B2 and B2X to the Xiom Offensive S, Fextra, and it seems it is Ayous, so I deleted the entry. Is the Yinhe Pro 05 Limba/Ayous or Limba/Limba?

Xiom Offensive S and Tibhar Stratus Power Wood are usually compared to BTY Korbel. Gewo Zoom Pro Off- is more similar to BTY Primorac Off- (at least in between Primorac and Korbel).

I don't know about Chinese blades similar to Korbel, but I assumed you want to get a cheaper Korbel. Well, there is one: NEOTEC Voodo Classic.

It is very cheap, a supposedly Japanese brand made in Sweden.
