Spyderco

The Crucible web site is a little tougher to navigate but, it has tons of information in it.

Spyderco is a good place to start for casual interest.

I don't know if it would be considered comprehensive, but I have a list of 50+ steels used in knifemaking, along with their chemical compositions on my website.
