These are opposite qualities. Low toughness = chippy and brittle. Low hardness = soft and rolly. Normally lower hardness is the cost of achieving higher toughness - they are trade-offs.
A problem I see with this ranking is that any of the toughness / edge retention numbers on the chart can be changed just by changing the hardness / heat treat. So I think what's missing from this project is what
typical hardness the steel is at in order to produce those numbers. That would give better idea of edge stability by letting people say things like "This steel is listed as super high toughness on the chart, but its typical hardness is listed as only 54RC. So regardless of the toughness the edge stability would be poor because it would easily roll and warp... so it would be good for axes with an obtuse geometry, but not for thin knives made as choppers" or "This steel is listed as tough but also has relatively high hardness so it should have great edge stability even with an acute geometry". E.g. Busse heat treat produces INFI at hardness 58-60RC yet is still insanely tough.
Great project by the way.
