What do they mean? I know they're all part of what makes a good steel but I have no idea what they mean and I can't find anything about them in relation to knives.

If there are other terms that are kind of arcane, please share...
 
The best place to find answers to your questions is in a library in my opinion.

Look into the following:

Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist, Second Edition by ASM International (Author) Arthur C. Reardon

It goes into quite some depth about "The many faces of wear" discussing abrasive wear, erosive wear, adhesive wear, fretting wear, and cavitation fatigue, among others.

You will get certified information, rather than opinion on forums, or interpreted information from individuals that (including myself) do not have a qualification in the specific field of science.
