But , generally , my first choice for toughness for use in a practical sword or very long chopper would NOT be 440C . Others may disagree . ;)

I agree but its short and very thick 6.8mm lol ))) I think when its going to be little warmer i will do some hard test for it and record it. Just some destroy test . I will baton 2 times wider in diameter logs than length of its blade )))

Like most things people have differing opinions. When I was young I had a relatively cheap 440c fixed blade that I was trying to use to dig a bullet out of wood. I was digging and got to the bullet and started prying and for some reason it would not budge. So being young(stupid) I dug in and really put some force into it. The blade bent to approximately the curve of the average banana before popping free minus 1/16" of the tip and returning to perfectly straight. I looked into the hole in the wood and the bullet lay next to a buried bolt that bent from the force of my prying. So 440c can be tough, if I had done the same with my Kabar I would have lost 1/4" of the tip for sure.
 
warning for language.
Ok i got the knife and i did add video in the first post. IT really looks and feels sturdy as a pry bar. My intention was to test that knife with batoning, but after i got it looks so nice that i do not want to hurt him ))))))) Only downside that its hard to pull out of sheath, it sits there too tight.

And btw its not that much hollow grind , the curve is not big, its between sabre and hollow grind
