If there is already a thread on this subject in advance, I apologize to friends.
Moderation, feel free to move or delete this topic if you feel necessary.

I've had a Husqvarna hatchet for several years, a blade that I love.
Rustic., with excellent thread retention.
I recently purchased the modern versions with polymer and fiberglass handles, 900gr (oz 31.7) and 1400gr (oz 49.3) from Husqvarna.
I also bought a 900g Gardena axe.
The Gardena brand was purchased by the Husqvarna group in 2006. The axes of this brand are also produced by Husqvarna, which is why the models are identical in shape, only the colors change.

We know that Husqvarna's standard axes are manufactured in Sweden by Hults Bruk (Hultafors) manually to this day.
Made of C55 steel, with a hardness between 57 and 58 HRC (SIC)

Now I ask my friends:

Are modern versions of Husqvarna axes also produced by Hultafors?
What steel is used?
What is the hardness in HRC?

The user support system itself does not know how to inform this.
The label only states that they are produced in Sweden.


Thanks.

Gardena is produced by husqvarna as far as I know. I couldn't see any difference between them in terms of quality. They have incredibly good axes for their price. I am currently actively using gardena Universal 1400 (I may remember the code wrong). I don't know what steel it is, but I am sure that it has a hardness around 57, 58 hrc. It is ideal for an axe, even too much. It definitely keeps its sharpness well. I have to say that it is not as sharp as Fiskars axes out of the box.

Thanks for the info.
I haven't had a chance to use them yet, but they're sharp and ready to go into the forest with me.
Today the post office delivers me a Gardena 1000, to pair with my Husqvarna 1000.
