If money is no object an HV860 tamahagane Iwasaki should do the job.
need to try a few & see what you like best but as for technique I'd emphasise a very low almost flat angle of approach.

I would include in the list of edge durability the new Thiers Issard wit carbonsong steel.

Even the older ones do well also.
