You're still taking extreme examples Marvin  The overall points of what wikipedia was saying is true. Carbon hardens steel....stainless steel with more carbon makes a stronger steel. Sure, blade manufacturers can find more alloys to change the overall properties.....but we're talking in generalities here 
Apart from Japanese stainless cutlery that has well over 1.5% carbon, average industrial stainless steel applications have way less carbon content. Excluding special alloys, steels normally stay below .35%
