Many different types of steel makes good knife blades-I believe that stainless steels are most suitable for the majority of knife types though. Good edge retention (Tests indicates that stainless steels; if properly heat treated, has better edge retention then most high carbon steels), very high corrosion resistance, and sufficient toughness.
It depends on the vegetable to be cut. Softer vegetables (tomato, eggplant) are better cut with a serrated edge to avoid squishing the vegetable. While for harder ones (carrots, squash) it is best to use a sharp striaght edge.
