Too many variables , heat treatment , geometry , what is the intended purpose of the blade , what is sharp for you ?? It may be different than my description . google zknives , it is a good reading material for steels
 
Some stainless steels: AEB-L, CPM154, XHP

Some carbon steels: 52100, 1054, White #1 or #2, Blue #1 or #2, Super Blue

Plus a couple dozen other steels...

Small carbides tend to make for an knife that can take a sharp edge. How well it can hold it is more about heat treatment and geometry. Suggest you cull through some of the threads/ posts on the subject by Devin Thomas and Larrin.
 
If you are a craftsman there is forum policy that prohibits you from mining information from the group. Without becoming at least a hobbyist, I would tread lightly.
 
Wasn't sure if the topic was buying a knife or making a knife. I was thinking M 390, ZDP 189 , maybe Hap40, although I have no experience with the last.
 
So I downloaded a App called knife steel composition! It has hundreds of steel types...Thanks everyone
 
Yeah that's from one of our members Gator.
 
Cool thanks! How did you get into hip hop then bladesmiths..??
