    My findings too - the Eskilstuna area is as legendary as Sheffield and Solingen, in my view. Any of the following should be a fine shaver:

    A E Berg
    C W Dahlgren
    C V Heljestrand
    J A Hellberg

    Klas Tornblom

    I only have one swede in my occamage. Its an Anton Berg and it is a seriously sharp lump of carbonised iron. Swedish steel for me takes a very aggressive edge so I find I have to be more careful when handling the Anton Berg than if I'm handling a Solingen or Thiers blade.
