Cool, do you have more info on the second one? Did a google search and the only thing that pops up is this post.
 
@Shotgun: I got this off ebay and it was toted as a Norwegian fire fighter hatchet. On the handle it says

Brødrene Øyo A/S
Geilo - Norway

and on the off side of the handle:

500 Volt
Godkjent av NVE (approved by NVE)


It is a sweet piece. I got it to replace my Pinzgauer truck crash axe, that I sold to an ex-THW guy who had one on duty and wanted it as a keepsake:

The Øyo is lighter, sharper, and also insulated. It doesn't have the gimmicks, but I can live without them, especially since the Øyo is much more balanced. It also has a heavy duty black leather sheath.

And for around 30€ it has to be the cheapest "tactical" axe out there. For that price you could easily mod it to your taste: more acute edge or sharpened beard or shortened spike, you name it.

Strangely, the model I have is not listed on their website.
