edge retaining
Explanation:
Bottom line, if there is a nice looking, built to last, extremely sharp, strait bladed, ***edge retaining knife*** around for cheap let me know, or at least point me in the right direction.

My D2 blade from Dozier keeps an edge better than any I've ever used and it is hollow ground. I would bet a D2 Convex with proper heat treatment would be an awesome ***edge retaining knife***.

Alternatively, you may like to tweak your translation and use "retains its/the edge (well/longer)" or something like that.
Please google for:
a) "knife retains its edge"
b) "knife retains the edge"
c) "knife that retains its edge"
d) "knife which retains its edge"

Explanation:
Die Schnitthaltigkeit (=CER: Cutting Edge Retention) hängt von der Stahlzusammensetzung und der Wärmebehandlung ab. Die Schnitthaltigkeit bezeichnet die Gebrauchsdauer der Klingen bei ausreichender Schneidfähigkeit.

Die Vakuum-Härtung:
Je gleichmäßiger die Härtung, desto besser die Schnitthaltigkeit. Deshalb arbeiten wir mit der modernsten Härtetechnologie der Welt – der Wärmebehandlung im Vakuum.
Vacuum hardening:
The more even the blade is, the better the knife holds its edge. This is the reason why we use the latest high-tech vacuum tempering process.
