The sk5 steel holds its own. I think it's somewhere in the realm of 1080 in American terms. Holds a decent edge, and very easy to sharpen in the field.
I have used this knife to the point that most of the blade coating has worn off, and now it has earned a place with my emergency gear that I keep in my jeep because I know I can depend on it. Great knife, if you are on the fence just buy it and you won't be sorry.
SRKs are great knives- amazingly sturdy, well designed, sharp (although this one needs a little touch-up out of the box), and very lightweight for how much knife you get. This knife just feels soooo right in my hand, it is so light, fast, and maneuverable feeling, and the handle is probably the most comfortable of any of my (many, many) fixed knives. I really like the sheath here too: secure retention, no/little rattle, good construction yet light weight, flexible lashing points, ability to put on belt without having to remove the belt first (I wish EVERY knife sheath would follow this!), etc.
This SK-5 version is very affordable for what you get, so I've been dying to get my hands on one since they were first announced. There are a few places where the fit and finish is just a little sloppy, but overall it is pretty good. The ultimate test, of course, will be to see how the cheaper SK-5 high-carbon steel used in this affordable version holds up under extreme use. I haven't yet had the chance to put it through any of the usual grueling tasks (batoning, chopping, stabbing through sheet metal, etc.), but it has held up well to 1 year of light use so far. The weight is a little too low to make for a good chopper, and the clippoint tip is not as great for batoning as a drop-point tip (since it will chew up your baton stick), but I think this knife will generally perform very well. The SRK design is very versatile and comfy to use and carry, I'm just bummed that they changed the ricasso/choil area so that you can no longer move an index finger up past the guard for increased finer control when making feathersticks, carving,etc. I was really hoping this cheaper SK5 version would just keep exactly the classic, tried and true SRK design (beloved by Navy Seals and civilians alike), but just offer it in more affordable steel (that still got a good heat treatment). But the design changes leave me a bit disappointed, and keep me from giving this version 5 stars.

Reviewed in Germany on January 14, 2023
One drawback to the blade coating is that this knife can't be used with a ferro rod. I have seen some mods to grind a 1" long bare flat on the spine to alleviate this issue. Nicer if the factory did it for us.
The sheath is very well constructed featuring a Kydex shell and a nylon webbing belt loop and snap loop for extra security around the hilt. That said, sheath retention if extremely good on this knife. It takes a good tug to get the knife free or seat it fully in the sheath. Lots of holes and 4 slots around the perimeter of the Kydex for multiple lashing options.
One thing I would like to see, in conjunction with a ground portion of the spine, would be an integrated ferro rod holder. This would be a very rugged and near perfect survival knife with that addition.
Seul inconvénient cependant, c'est le manche, il est bien mais lorsqu'on l'utilise longtemps, lors du batonnage par exemple, les petits picots sont désagréable et donnent une sensation de fourmillements.
