If they are made by Gransfors Bruk, they are worth every penny.
There has not been a really good USA made axe since the 60's, unless you count custom makers. I have reclaimed over 20 that were older than that, from barns, yard sales, and such.
I got a Gransfor Bruk and it is the best ax I have ever owned. It was expensive though, and my mother got it for me as a Christmas gift about 10 years ago.
