Damascus steel has nothing to do with edge retention. You can have fully stainless, or fully reactive (carbon steel) Damascus. Vg10 (this knife) is a stainless with pretty good edge retention, but not my favorite steel.
Damascus is just a way of folding the steel and then using acid to etch out the various layers though, has nothing to do with what type of steel it is or how the knife performs, purely cosmetic.
