I don't think spending $230 for a luxury item you appreciate and enjoy is unreasonable. But I would worry about losing it during my day to day. I once lost (and found weeks later) a $30 knife I was quite fond of. I was fairly sad for a while.
My wife did joke that I only need to buy a couple more to make up for her favorite purse.

I don't make excuses anymore. I live like a pauper 99% of the time so when a 1% day shows up I can laugh and enjoy it. I don't have a fancy watch and I never eat out. My furniture is old and slowly being replaced by what I make. All my discretionary money goes to powertools, guns, and now a dream knife.
Losing toys sucks. This knife will either be on me or in my nightstand safe. I've learned my lesson from having 2 dozen utility knives floating everywhere.
