This blade steel...

ThyssenKrupp Stainless steel W.Nr 14116(x50 CrMoV 15) C 0,5 Si 0,377 Mn 0,349 P 0,038 S 0,0015 Cr 14 Mo 0,84 V 0,117. Hrc 58, measured

How does this rate as a blade steel?

What would be the closest American version of this steel?

Thanks for your help,
 
My guess is something like a 420 variant. Kitchen knife or an economical sports knife. Not for me thanks.
