Hi.
I know Randall used the swedish o1 steel in many of the knives.
Is the steel from the Swedish company Uddeholm ??

Ben,
I don't know where you got the "yes" from. I called the shop and was told that it is Randall's policy not to divulge suppliers or sources for their products.
Best, Capt. Chris
