I know about hardness and toughness as steel characteristics and where they fit in to durability, but what about impact resistance? It would seem that impact resistance would be very important to absolute edge durability? It is a quality that comes up pretty infrequently but upon researching it, it could make a case for using S7 or L6 in certain applications.

I googled it. Impact resistance or impact strenght seems to be an aspect of toughness. My first thought was "hardness", but it's toughness.

... for the technical meaning of "toughness" in metallurgy, that is. The common English meanings also cover "yield strength" (and probably "hardness", too).

It is difficult to test, even if you have standardized testing procedures (IZOD and Charpy). May be the reason why it is talked about less often.
