These are 2 different Husqvarna's I've seen pics of. Those Swedes at times make them a little hard for my liking. I'm sure it's a few isolated instances, but know it happens.
I suppose a fella could find a pic of a damaged Gansford too if he looked hard enough.
I don't believe Husqvarna makes their own axes. I know Wetterlings made them at one time. From what I have read elsewhere, Hults Bruks makes them currently. Either way, it's a good ax at a good price.
That's my understanding as well.
They are a indeed a good tool at a good price.
