That brand is expensive but respected for quality. I've read negative comments about the company owner but I never was interested enough to research them. I owned a similar blade made by the ZT division of KAI, the ZT 0561 with Elmax steel. It was similar size to yours but a bit lighter. I eventually sold mine because the blade was a bit thick for actual cutting.
Tough is relative and some people say if you want tough you should just carry a fixed blade, but that Hinderer is certainly way over on the tough end of the scale.
