I found this video very interesting. Looks like crucible steel made along the lines of ancient manufacturing techniques is very good at edge retention but brittle, seems to lend some creedence to the myths, especially compared to low carbon steel. I did not expect it to be on the extreme edges of the list to be honest.
Also made a damascus video:

The Blue Super is at 65HRC though, if it's at 61HRC like the Wootz and 1095, the Blue would likely be closer to 1095 in wear resistance than the Wootz. There is only a few percent of difference between 1095 and Wootz anyways, I am not sure you could feel that in real life unless you really look for it. It would likely be a different kind of sharp though, more like a serrated knife than a razor.

True it's a higher HRC, Super Blue is usually run harder in production from Japan, so it's a fair test by KSK, but not exacting...one would not want to run either 1095 or this modern take on Wootz that hard.
All three steels are actually very different, I was just attempting to figure out where it ( Modern Wootz) falls in terms of use and what is found on the market.
