Have a look at this one.

Apparently it's very similar to the Gränsfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet.
It's a Husqvarna Hatchet - the label on the one I've just bought today says it's a 0.6kg (or could that be 0.5? The former I think.)
The Husqvarna website will give you your nearest dealer. Click here for the locator http://www.husqvarna.co.uk/node981.aspx
If you can go into a dealer that has a few in stock and get it in person - but first...

Both very informative.
The dealer I was at today had about 15 of the things in a box, some of the hafts weren't as straight grained as others and a few of the heads looked a touch misshapen. The one I got seems right on though.
£25 for what seems to be a decent enough bit of kit.
Hand forged in Sweden.
I can't give you a review of it in action, but you'll see that in the first link in this post anyway.
Good luck.
