But not any steel can attain the kind of performance this has, not until a better one comes along. It's hardness is only one of it's good points, it's also more wear resistant, more corrosion resistant and retains an edge longer than other steels. I'm only pointing out that, for your purposes, this is the most ideal material available. If you're at all interested in metallurgy I think you should also take a look at some of Sandvik's stuff, they're making nitrogenated duplex steels that are very interesting. I honestly wonder what a kitchen knife made of Sandvik High-N would be like, though it's only currently being used in orthopedic implants.
