Which steel have you noticed being better, as far as edge retention and corrosion resistance? The 154CM on the ZT0200, or the S30V on most the other ZT knives?
 
Both steels are pretty corrosion resistant, I have never had plain (Non-bead blasted) s30v rust on me but i do see a couple spots on meh 154 blades, mostly during summer in kentucky though and it gets extremely humid here in the summer thus contributing to the corrosion. I have been able to get a finer edge on s30v than 154 but it also loses that razor edge faster than 154. Both are great steels.
 
Thanks, I have been considering getting an 0200 for my first ZT knife, but was curious why it was the only ZT with that different steel. However, an opportunity came up and it looks like my first will be an 0350CBZDP (0200 will be the second child)
