Super Steels or "regular" or whatever you want to call your basic 1095, 440a, etc they all have their traits. And truth be told wear resistance isn't that big of a deal that majority of us make it out to be, we just have to learn how to properly sharpen a knife and most of the worries of a dull knife go away. I own knives from 420j2 all the way up the S110V, guess which one gets almost no use the S110V ones. Not because their bad knives but because I just plain don't like as much as my other knives, I prefer my Rough Riders which have 440a or GEC Bullnose with 01 steel over that by a fairly large degree. Because at the end of the day they get the job done.
My dedicated cardboard cutter at home is a Victorinox paring knife I thinned down. I am not sure I have any knife that will dull quicker than that knife but I will say this the thinned down blade with an acute edge put on it will slice through cardboard like it wasn't there and it will sharpen back up in a matter of seconds by stropping it with black compound. I have 2 jobs which is inventory/stocking and I am not allowed to use a knife, but for some odd reason they let me carry a Gerber EAB because its technically a box cutter, I am still using the original blade after 6months all I do is strop it on some compound again to bring it back to being sharp again and one time had to take it back to the stones for a real sharpening. And this is in a job where I use it a LOT on a daily basis, the 20seconds I take out of my day to strop it when it starts to get dull when I get home is not a big deal.
In terms of knife traits especially wear resistance I think we should worry about if it can first do the job, second if you can make it through your usual jobs before dulling. Than finally how long do you want to go before you have to sharpen for what you consider dull.
