Abrasion resistance, edge holding and difficulty of sharpening

I see these three functions of steel as three ways of saying the same thing. Can someone tell me why they are not?

Well, here are three ways edges can fail. They can wear dull, they can chip or, they can fold over.

So perhaps, what we really are concerned with is how different steels resist different types of edge failure.

Thats pretty much it in a nutshell. Get the proper steel hardened the way it needs to be hardened.
