Blade steel is 7Cr17MoV. Slightly lower carbon and much higher chromium content than the more common 8Cr13MoV blades you see here. This knife will be easier to sharpen (due to lower carbon) and have much better corrosion resistance (due to higher chromium). The trade off is edge retention, so you may need to sharpen it more often.
In terms of hardness/edge detention, a 7 is similar to 440A. An 8 is closer to 440B or AUS 8.
It's a nice knife, but the Ozark Trail D2 bugout clones are $10 regularly and are amazing knives for the price. I have them in every color and they make great gifts.

I bought a nice Gerber and then never removed it from the package because I grabbed a couple of Ozark Trail D2 knives immediately after. I feel shame...

Ah yes... the same of getting a better product for less money.
Personally, I just call it "adding to the collection". Do I need the OT D2 knives in every color? Nope.
Did I need another Kershaw oso sweet, just because it was $20 again? Nah.

This guy knifes ~ sir I want a nice pairing knife that is somewhat flexible, no longer than 3.5 inches, and doesn't cost me more than $50... Could you please recommend some or advice what to be cautious about? Thx!

For a paring knife, you want a fixed blade and in that case, you're better off with a kitchen knife. These folding knives are meant for more utilitarian use. I wouldn't use one for more delicate cutting, plus they can be difficult to clean.
I bought my Kai Inspire paring knives from the Kai outlet two years ago and they're still razor sharp. Hand wash only, dry immediately, and give it a quick hone on the steel before putting it away. You can get them on Amazon for $12[amazon.com].

And then I jumped from buying one campground knife to owning THREE.
