Is it wrong to buy a knife just because you think it looks nice?
>pic related
I know it's not super steel, or the best value for money.
I just like how it looks.

It's wrong to buy an explicitly functional knife for looks
that's a betrayal of it's raison d'être

Can you afford it? Is it your money? If yes, then why not?

There are worse ways to consoom. And the ratio of money spent to potential usefulness is pretty good for a mora.

Buying knives is never wrong.

Most knives that aren't made of cheap chink pig iron and scam steel will last your entire life and do everything you need a knife for, even one of those cheap $5 stock plastic folding knives can easily last you decades with bare minimum maintenance and tons of abuse.
Because of this, anything you buy like this is specifically for personal use preference and fashion. I've used a slightly shitty folding buck for 18 years and it has never once failed me, and if I ever need to replace it it's like $20.
That said I have a good collection of knives that I got entirely because they look cool, and I almost never use 80% of them and probably never will.

I think it's overpriced.
But can't complain too much, grabbed a $10 chink clone of it and indeed it is pretty nice in the hand.
If they were $50 I'd say they were reasonable. For $100 it's a pretty hard sell for me.

And answering the question...isn't that why everyone buys every knife? "Damn thing looks nice."

Usually people buy tools to use them, not to decorate their house

I prefer the Kansbol.

its your money, you decide. im carrying a 600 dollar sebenza right now and while the steel's a bit better it functionally doesn't do anything different than a properly sharpened 40 dollar off brand amazon pick. im happy with all my mora's, and i use them extensively.

I see Mora is making their 2000 in 14C28N

Would you recommend this instead?

Fuck it, it was cheap on Heinnie Haynes.

Garberg is a good knife.
I have many Moras and never had a problem with them.
