They are similar, the main difference is that the swedish steels have a lot tighter tolerances (if you look at the composition of AUS-6, you'll see some pretty big ranges), and the Swedes just make higher quality steel, with very little impurities, etc. AUS-6 and AUS-8 are probably pretty good though.
