Please see our last research comparing sharpening high vanadium knives using aluminium oxide versus CBN/diamond abrasives.
This comparison has been done on knives with vanadium content of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 10%.

Excerpt:
"Numbers tell us that edge rolling does depend on whether we sharpen with aluminium oxide or CBN/diamond, and CBN/diamond gives better lasting sharpness than aluminium oxide, but correlation with the vanadium content it is not linear – instead, there is a dramatic rolling in edges with vanadium content of 3% sharpened with aluminium oxide."
