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

>>2862359
Can you afford it? Is it your money? If yes, then why not?

>>2862359
There 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 day
or
>buy an always useful tool that could potentially be with you for the rest of your life

Buying knives is never wrong.

>>2862359
for me it was the bps knives savage

>>2862359
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.

>>2862359
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."

>>2862461
Usually people buy tools to use them, not to decorate their house

>>2862463
i bought mine to invest thoughbeitever

>>2862466
Invest it up your fucking ass

>>2862359
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.

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

you betta buy that shii niqqa
carbon black
it'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.

....

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'être
Every brand cares what it looks like.

>>2863121
Who mentioned a brand

i just bought an akc switchblade (9inch swing guard) and im going to use it to cut soft cheese
did i mess up? its still being posted

>>2863161
ok i did a tiny bit of googling because i didnt get a confirmation email and i just got scammed

>>2863161

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.

>>2863147
OP and his lamenting over if he should spend $11 on a knife or not

>>2863292
Whoa this guy doesnt care about spending 11 dollars he must be RICH

Lol get fucked, jerkoff. Nobody actually thinks that. You are sad and nobody is impressed by your pitiful posturing.

How 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.

Stainless? If you shed your chuddy shackles and buy carbon you can BLACC your knife and become an elite ninja

I BLACCED this bad boi right here by leaving it in instant coffee for a day

>>2863191
Man, the M4 is almost perfect, but I wish the grip would slim down towards the blade for comfier pinch grip.

you should have made it bluish black with vinegar or something since you already have a black handle

Berg is swedish for mountain you dunce.

>>2864063
Holy shit is that why they call them icebergs?

>>2864026
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.

>>2864026
and if you should discard it for a name reason it should be
>mora
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.

>>2864095
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.

>>2864096
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?

>>2862359
yes because you now made yourself a victim of consomerism, jews and all that.
>your pic related
dude its a fuckin mora, its the cheapest tradie knife you can get in the nordic

>>2865732
jula, biltema, gas station...
i dont have a thing against mora just a thing against /out seeing them as the go-to knife. if you carry two then its the perfect second knife, but if you carry one hell no. i got a brusletto håkon as my primary knife and it will outlast me, pic related the OL edition. i also consoomed countless plastic knifes on the side over the years.

The new one throws sparks, no problem.

I've mostly been using it for kielbasa sausage.

It's surprisingly good at buttering bread.

>>2862359
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$

>>2865969

>still cant show the price of anything

>>2862359
Not at all. I am currently looking for shitty steel I can grind into a shiv because I want my gear to be all recycled trash.

You can find knives at the top of service poles,
