Easiest to sharpen steel that holds an edge the longest.

AUS8 is one of the easiest to sharpen, in my opinion. Decent edge retention, but not great by any means. Most of the best edge retention steels are not easy to sharpen, in my experience.

14C28N might be a candidate for your criteria? I've got a Real Steel knife in 14C28N that sharpens fairly easily and seems to have good edge retention, too.

+1 on the 14c28n. My absolute favorite steel for being well rounded in that aspect. Holds a great fine razors edge, and sharpens pretty easy.
