I will second that, at least for edge holding. ATS-55 has been a bit rust happy for me, more like D2 steel.
Still I prefer ATS-55 over Aus-8 every time.

The ATS55 should hold an edge longer. The AUS-8 is a step up from 420 alloys for edge holding and takes an exceptionally sharp edge. The AUS-8 makes a better razor. The ATS55 probably makes a better knife.
