A 45 deg. bevel on your edges will be very blunt, you'll have a very robust edge, but I don't think you can get very slicing sharp edge on 45 deg.. Even the edge on an axe doesn't go much over 30 deg. You may want to rethink you edge geometry. The steels you mentioned are excellent for holding an edge. Use the right heat treat to insure a durable edge.
