Pricey, but looks worth it.

Look at shotguns, some are worth hundreds of thousands and some are worth mere hundreds, both are tools and do the same job, but people are willing to spend more because of the history associated and the design work etc.

I used to work in a specialist book shop where people would pay thousands of pounds for a single old tatty book, a lot of people can not understand that. I get it totally, they buy them and are willing to spend the money because they love them.

I think people should get over this whole price thing when it's associated with items like knives and the like. Some of us will pay more than others.

arrrh now that is a little different, I can understand that, because I used to collect swords, I still have quiet a lot of my collection, and I also paid top notch for a few of them,.... so if you put the knives in that category, then I can at least see what you are saying
