We would put it on the list of models to hold before buying. The stated hardness helps identify the blade, but does not establish how often it will need sharpening: the chopping board, technique and maintenance all matter.
Use the cutting edge for cutting. To transfer chopped food, use a scraper or carefully use the spine, rather than dragging the edge across the board. We have not carried out cutting or wear tests on this model.
