Any reviews on this axe?

That axe look a lot like the Hultafors sold here http://www.workwearcanada.com/products/detail.cfm?product=788.
But I could be wrong. Looks great none the less! Keep us posted on how it holds up to use!!

Many, if not all of the axes sold by Husqvarna are made by Hultafors. The stamp on the axe head should confirm that, but the photos are too small to see the stamp. It should say something like "Hults Bruk". The quality is good, but the grain in the handle may not be perfect. There were a number of Swedish army axes that were made by Hultafors that were sold as surplus. Some were new or nearly new, but they are getting hard to find. I think that they had an American pattern head, like a Council Tool, rather than the European pattern. The axe heads were stamped with HB in a circle and the handles were painted olive drab. They're good axes, if you can find them.
