Good list of various steels, I'll begin to categorize soon.
Gunnerjohn,
This is complicated enough without mentioning other materials not used for knives. My poor little knifemaking brain is going to get a stress fracture if you keep this up.
The Inconel type metals (high nickel, chromium, molybdenum and sometimes niobium alloy with very little iron) have no knife blade application that I've ever heard of.
These alloys are designed for being resistant to specific types of corrosion, like in nuclear power generating plants.
Back to knife steels.
