The above chart is what I use - I like K390, S90V, S110V - I am not trying to use them as pegboard pegs to climb a cliff however. I really like edge retention as the number one priority. Sounds like you want more toughness.

I mean, not really. In the end i want a knife that holds it's edge...kind of full stop. I can grind a sharpness on it that can be amazing. I guess i think about it that it's task is to cut things as long as it can and retain sharpness as long as possible without being brittle and cracking/breaking, etc. I know there is a give-and-take...but in the end, I want an edge that lasts through a couple of deer and pigs.

K390 or M390 are my favorite workhorse, or 15V in spyderco heat treatment
VG-10 is good stuff / easy to make razor sharp with slight maintenance.
Magnacut imo isn’t cost efficient unless you are a salt water fisherman or diver or paranoid about patina.
