hi from germany!
I have used that Blade for a while.
Hardness is pretty low, about 53-55 HRC. You will not break it easily, but spent more time with sharpening.
The chiselish grind from the right side makes no good use for lefties, thats why I finally gave it away...
Handle gives good hold, has a tiny space in it for some aspirine or whatever.
Price is low.
Sheath fits all combat needs, has a built-in sharpener, wire-cutter and screwdriver, is able to be decontaminated.
Conclusion: pretty good low priced field tool, if you're righthanded...
edit: I forgot: there's a coating on the blade, that doesn't stay much longer than the first use, but it immediately gets a nice rust camouflage
