is there a difference in blade quality depending on how it was made; specifically heating metal up and hammering out a blade shape then filing and sharpening it, or just cutting the blade out of a large sheet of metal and sharpening it?

Yes there is. Thermal treatments are very important as they can change some properties depending of how it’s done. The heat allows the atoms to arrange in different ways. For example tempering increases the hardness of the steel.
