There are several different types of steels that are used to make blades most of which is high carbon or martensitic* stainless. Examples of this would be:

High Carbon: 1094, O1 toolsteel, D2, 1084

Martensitic stainless: 440c,Ats34, Cpm s30v

*Martensitic has chrome as a major alloy element with an increased amount of carbon compared to similar alloys. This carbon content is what makes it more suitable for blades then other stainless types.
