Is it wrong to buy a knife just because you think it looks nice? >pic relatedI know it's not super steel, or the best value for money.I just like how it looks.
>>2862359It's wrong to buy an explicitly functional knife for looksthat's a betrayal of it's raison d'être
>>2862359Can you afford it? Is it your money? If yes, then why not?
>>2862359There are worse ways to consoom. And the ratio of money spent to potential usefulness is pretty good for a mora.
>go out and eat garbage for big money, only to be forgotten the next dayor>buy an always useful tool that could potentially be with you for the rest of your lifeBuying knives is never wrong.
>>2862359for me it was the bps knives savage
>>2862359Most 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.
>>2862359I 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."
>>2862461Usually people buy tools to use them, not to decorate their house
>>2862463i bought mine to invest thoughbeitever
>>2862466Invest it up your fucking ass
>>2862359I 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.
>>2862470I see Mora is making their 2000 in 14C28NWould you recommend this instead?
>>2862552Fuck it, it was cheap on Heinnie Haynes.I can always drill a lanyard hole if necessary lol
>>2862359Garberg is a good knife.I have many Moras and never had a problem with them.
you betta buy that shii niqqacarbon blackit's like half a week of groceries no one will miss that and you got a good knife until you die
For factory sharpness and price mora is hard to beat. My favorite knife is a Kamp King. The can opener and awl come in handy.
>>2862359>mora>looks good....
Mora knives are functional and great value. i have three. I'm a bit confused though, what do you mean by "how it looks"? it's a knife anon. not a woman.
>>2862362>that's a betrayal of it's raison d'êtreEvery brand cares what it looks like.
>>2863121Who mentioned a brand
i just bought an akc switchblade (9inch swing guard) and im going to use it to cut soft cheesedid i mess up? its still being posted
>>2863161ok i did a tiny bit of googling because i didnt get a confirmation email and i just got scammed
>>2863161>>2863164ok i bought a second one from a site that reddit says is legit (and another forum site)this time its an ebony 11 incher because it was on sale ill update again most likely
>>2863019>>2863068OP hereI 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.
>>2863147OP and his lamenting over if he should spend $11 on a knife or not
>>2863292Whoa this guy doesnt care about spending 11 dollars he must be RICHLol get fucked, jerkoff. Nobody actually thinks that. You are sad and nobody is impressed by your pitiful posturing.
>>2863191>Mora 2000 (S) BlackHow is the spine on the blade? I have a regular one with the mirror polish stainless, and the spine is rounded and doesn't throw sparks.
>>2862359Stainless? If you shed your chuddy shackles and buy carbon you can BLACC your knife and become an elite ninjaI BLACCED this bad boi right here by leaving it in instant coffee for a day
>>2863191Man, the M4 is almost perfect, but I wish the grip would slim down towards the blade for comfier pinch grip.
>>2863343you should have made it bluish black with vinegar or something since you already have a black handle
>>2863295embarrassing post
>>2863408It’s green, sweaty
>>2864026Berg is swedish for mountain you dunce.
>>2864063Holy shit is that why they call them icebergs?
>>2864026do 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.
>>2864026and if you should discard it for a name reason it should be>morasome 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.
>>2864095Nonsense. 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.
>>2864096they 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?
>>2864097can you please post a knife that is the same quality for $1.66?
>>2864127any no brand hardware store knife is.
