Just looked at the 2023 Spyderco product guide, and have one question, what's the difference between H1 and H2 steel in the Salt series ?

H2 Steel - H1 the sequel - Knife Steel Nerds

H2 is a newly announced steel for Spyderco knives that replaces the previous H1 steel. How do the two steels compare?

I hope there will be very little difference, or none. H1 is no longer being made, so when it is gone, the knives will switch to H2, from a different factory I believe. It appears that it may be more corrosion resistant, if that is even a thing. There is some concern that it may be a tiny bit softer, but we don't know that yet. Hopefully, that isn't the case, and it is very similar to H1.

I only have one knife in H2; if it's close to H1 or LC200N - I'll be fine with that.

It seems very close to H1, according to some usage reports I've read.
