Here is an article about knife steel. You can click on each type of steel in the bar graphs and more details about that particular steel will pop up.
It would be prohibitively expensive to make a shovel out of knife steel, but what about using knife steel to make hand diggers?
They should keep an edge much longer than the steel most current hand diggers are made of. I am thinking that the Hori knives probably have the best steel of all the current diggers, but they do not have much of a hand guard.
