Jim, (May I have your permission to address you as Jim?)
From my research, and correspondence with B-U USA and others, I am convinced that you are correct. K390, even below it's optimum hardness, would hold it's edge better than most of the "cutlery suitable" uber steels, other than Rex121.
Yep.
A11 (K294, 10V) and K390 are way ahead of the other steels, the closest would be S110V at High Hardness.
Rex 121 and 15V are at the next level.
