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.

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

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."

OP here

I mean that the Garber's handle looks comfortable & balanced.

I did buy a Mora 2000 (S) Black - basically a 14C28N Kansbol - but I'll get a Garberg in future if I break one of my other knives/find them insufficient.

Imagine. German jews call themselves "berg" because they're made to take a name, and some hundred years later dumb americans think "berg" is jewish, despite sounding nothing like hebrew.
Btw. baum is german for tree, stein is german for stone, and witz is a germanized slavic patronymic suffix, as in "son of".

do you know what berg means? and in what languages it had this meaning?
its not a mountain, usually, its definetly not a hill because a hill is made up of dirt. a mountain however is made up of berg. the term berg us usually used when something slightly elevated from the surrroundings is made up from berg (aka rock) but you cant break a piece of it and throw a berg at someome, no then you will be throwing a stein at someone...
now who came first, the nordics and germanics or the pointy nosed sanddwellers you think off? history is pretty clear there since the ash-nazi language is literally based on germanic not the other way. so you can safely buy berg and stein products from the nordics and it has nothing to do with joos.

some mora worker has posted in int or b, idk? he admitted they rarely used their own knifes when out, better knifes existed. its just mass produced machined blades with no heat threathment or edge with a plastic handle. only sold due to made in sweden but ironicly had poor sales in sweden.

Nonsense. They have heat treatment and they have an edge (and you could put on the latter if they didn't). No shit they're not as good as one that costs ten times as much, but they're good enough for many things.

they are throw away tradies knifes and they make some money on their made in sweden name. thats all there is to them, nothing more. why does no one in the nordics use mora knifes for anything but what a disk grinder sharpening cant fix and when the blade is halfway gone (2 weeks) we get a new one? or any other knockoff branded or not, they are all the same quality and wont hold an edge. so why pay mora-tax when you can get the same quality for 1/10 the price?

I've mostly been using it for kielbasa sausage.

Ive done enough research on knives that I think 1095 steel is the best all around.
Super steels dont seem to really offer much in corrosion resistance (a coated blade basically negates this anyway IMO) or blade strength (they either seem to make the knife very weak/brittle or too tough to sharpen in the field).

My ideal all around/bushcraft knife:
>80 - 120$
>1095 steel or similar (the Bong semi-equivalent is O2 from my understanding)
>4 - 6" blade (anything more is Rambo territory)
>Drop point
>Scandi grind (2 bevels provide better strength)
>45* flat grind on the blade
>Full tang
>Removeable grip
>Choil
>Carbon coated

My ideal anything else knife:
>10ish$
