I was just wondering why one would spend so much money on a knife, for example, the Woodlore, or a Fallkniven Idun. I'm wondering why something like a Woodlore is better, than lets, say, a Helle Sigmund.

It's like cars.
I could go out and buy a car tomorrow for say £500 that will get me everywhere i want to go, but still some folks spend hundreds of thousands more
Not a perfect analogue. A £100,000 Aston Martin looks better, has better materials, is faster etc. than a £500 Mondeo. Yes, they still get you from A to B but in a very different way. The Woodlore knives don't do anything more than a cheaper clone - you're paying for the brand
One could argue that a 17th century refectory table doesn't help you eat your dinner any better than an Ikea MDF monstsrosity. The difference is more than just brand - its quality of materials, craftsmanship and "soul" to some extent
I think so too - my point was only there is a little more to it than "branding" - materials, fit and finish, craftsmanship etc.
