Very interesting... I like Scandi grinds (though I do see a definite secondary bevel in the photos, so it would take some work). I like stainless myself, it means it would work better on board boats on salt water for one thing... but yeah, this is VERY expensive for a Mora, and I do NOT like the looks of that retainer strap, looks like it would be at least awkward drawing one-handed and definitely in the way when returning the knife.. and with so little guard there's no obvious reason not to enclose it enough in the sheath to retain it. Since it's a full-tang, I'd like to know where the balance point is, it's bound to be more handle-heavy.
What the heck is a "built in click lock"?

Presumed_LostBuilt-in lock click means if the top retaining strap unclips there is a mechanism inside the plastic sheath that clicks when you push the knife in. This prevents the knife falling out when it is held upside down in the sheath with the retaining strap undone.
The good thing about the Garberg sheath design is unlike other plastic sheathed knives you can put the knife in the sheath in both directions - there is no wrong way to insert the knife into the sheath.
The top fastening retaining strap is also good for left handers. A horizontally orientated retaining strapon the handle will often face into oncoming twigs and brush when worn on the left hip - there is the risk of it flicking open. With a top strap, and the plastic sheath's click lock this knife is truly ambidextrous.
