Well, it came with black scale on it.
And with a skate test, and the fact that my hand saw didnt catch at all, i'm pretty sure its fully hardened. I'm not sure if it's tempered or anything, it doesnt state that on the homepage.
I just ordered some o1 from UK, so I think I will try to send the o2 back. I don't have the time or patiente to also anneal the steel.
@ray, After i normalize the blade, I do a very low tech charcoal and canola oil austenization. I do it based on colours and magnets. Just like os many other beginners :-)
Thanks for your input.
