CPM 3V with a heat treat optimized for cutlery shows very little edge chipping, even at HRC 61-62. The only steel I've played with better resistance to chipping without being soft and mushy is INFI. That said, steels like V4E and 4V show less edge damage than 3V or Infi in rough use and thin edges at working hardness over HRC 62, which is why it has beat out M4 as the steel of choice being used in the world cutting championship. Even though the failure mode is chipping, it takes a tremendous amount of abuse to get there. This is in reference to an optimized heat treat such as the knives being used in the cutting competitions, which is significantly different from the HT prescribed for it in the data sheet. If someone is using a 4V or V4E knife that is chippy I can almost guarantee it was heat treated to the data sheet, which results in a crumbly edge. The knives being used in competition, even though they're frequently very hard, are not heat treated that way and don't behave like that.
