A.G. Russell's own site listings for these knives (Boker Arbolito, Argentina) in N695 specify their hardness at HRC 57-59, which sounds pretty decent for bigger blades in this steel, which is comparable to 440C. I don't think there'd be much to worry about there. One of the A.G.R. listings is linked below - I'm pretty sure they're still a BF sponsor:
