Good points on axes and knives!

I used dirt cheap mass production "no-good" store axe for years for my daily firewood. The handle was the worst I ever saw and broke after 2 months of use but the axe-head is a fantastic for the price. Not a real good splitter, but a fantastic as a hewing axe. I am going to put it in use for timber framing. Put on a proper handle and it is a great axe for just 30 euros.
I did buy a Gränsfors Bruk small forest axe about 5 years ago. My first choice was actually a Hults Bruk axe but I could not find any locally. The Gränsfors was available and it costed me 75 euros. I think they were not that famous back then.

A good idea is to look at the modern nomadic people- Nenets, Komi, Sami etc. Some of them do not have the option to get the awesome tools with awesome steels. They use what is available for them and things get done.

They look very similar to 2 axes i have by husqvarna, maybe Hults Bruk are the manufacturer. They're axes are brilliant if so and stay sharp for a long time. Very worth the cost.

Hults Bruks are the same company. I have axes that are Hultafors which are not available in the UK. I also have variants of axes that don't exist anywhere, like the 600gm with a 19 inch handle,that IMHO is as good as the SFA.

Good vid. Excellent axes, virtually the same high quality as Gränsfors Bruks but at a friendlier cost.
No, Husqvarna does not own Hults Bruk. Hults Bruk is owned by Hultafors Group.

But, Neil, I was of the impression they were also made by craftsmen, but in a more efficirnt way? More like a series production.

Gränsfors and Wetterlings are connected, same family owns both axe manufacturers.

The classic looking Husqvarna axes are made by Wetterlings ?
The other ones I guess in China?
