I don't know the physical make up and chemistry of steels like Cobalt so this is my own personal experience. Unlike the majority of people have answered in this post, Infi is my favorite slicer. I would not say that with a factory edge on most Busse knives, but after putting a 19 degree bevel on the Muk, or Park Ranger, they slice like crazy. As far as edge retention, Infi does not "micro chip" like so many other steals. When I'm done with the 1600 ceramic on the wicked edge,then a few passes on leather strop, I can cut forever. I've never even needed to go back to the diamond stones, either the strop or the ceramic brings it back to cutting paper with a razor like edge. I won't claim to have any data on this, just my own experience, but I would suggest giving infi a try at its true potential with a real cutting bevel and at least 1600 grit polished edge and I don't think you will be disappointed.
