Yes. For example, nitrogen alloyed steels like Vanax or LC200N (both of which are more corrosion resistant than the other alloys mentioned by GP) aren't particularly corrosion resistant in the total space of stainless steels, they are just very corrosion resistant as compared to how hard (and/or tough) they are.

[edit]

I should also point out that the two alloys I mentioned are not particularly hard or tough for a knife steel.
