It's a nice looking knife, but much too rich for my blood.

If it's a tool you think you are going to appreciate for the money, why not get it. If it functions no better than a knife of similar size and a lower price, then how disappinted will you be? That's the real question.

I don't think this board is the place that one comes to get talked out of buying a knife. You might get talked out of buying a specific one, while you get talked into an alternative. Or, you may end up buying both, in time. I see nothing wrong with this either. IMO, one cannot have too many good knives.
