If one asks a crank company where the steel is sourced from, most...if not all will tell you it is proprietary info. I was told this from Ohio Cranks when I purchased my billet crank. Doesn't hurt to do your homework. Ask around and see if you can gleen any info on the base steel and it's origins. I'd think if any crank manufacturers are using "High Grade" American steel...they'd display it and wear it like a crown. One can source "dirty steel" from any country....including the USA.
