To add to the knowledge here (what little I have)...
I have a Farid folder in REX121. It holds an edge for longer than I care to test it, but I can't get it particularly sharp. I can slice phone book paper and shave arm hairs...but I can't really say I can even get close to tree topping or hair whittling sharpness.
I haven't tested how thin I can go before I have edge instability, but I have already worn down a diamond plate and a couple of lesser stones...Maybe at a later date I'll retry. I have a review on the forums somewhere if anyone is looking for more specifics.
