8Cr13MoV is a low-end Chinese-Made Stainless Steel similar to the Japanese AUS 8, It belongs to the CR13 series, highly in Carbon, Chromium, it’s used for knives, many knife makers use it and some of it made the best of it (I m talking bout Spyderco).
It’s a low-end budget steel, that offers Decent Edge retention, corrosion resistance, hardness and wear resistance, for a very low price, so the answer is Yes compared to other budget steel knives, you can use it as an EDC knife, kitchen knife or hunting knife, but be prepared to take good care of it.
