And I thought this would be about a chainsaw.

As to which one to choose; that very much depends on what you are planing to do with it. The Forest Axe does look to be a light full sized axe. If you are planning on carrying it around then, for me, it's going to be too big. If you are going to be keeping it at home or in a car then it looks good. The head profile makes me think that it'll be a good chopper, but perhaps not the best splitting axe.
I got one of those too. I rather like mine.

I rather like mine.Mine is DIY from, got the chainsaw blade with the smallest teeth, the rest is obvious.Tried mine on several trees and the thing is just a monster, there is technique involved since it only cuts in one direction, so it helps to flip it halfway through. I've used on a few 30cm diameter branches of a softwood in the yard, that was a joke and frankly awesome to behold.Last year on my cousin's farm we found a downed tree across the farm track, big Acacia, I made 3 cuts in no time and we could clear it. Right then and there I knew I had a winner.....Now I ask you - what else can fell a tree and fits in your car's cupholder?
I thought Husqvarna were rebranded Wetterlings. But you're right they were Hultafors, until a point I believe, and then Not sure if they still are or what.

Definitely interested to hear your thoughts on the CS Viking.
I'm not sure everyone would agree, but I say that a chap can never have too many axes.

So............ My grinder/sander combo showed up, but instead of a Husqvarna Hatchet they sent a Husqvarna H900 Just can't get myself to buy the thing, just hope they can send it back......
