I've actually had better luck with cpm d2 being more resistent. Zdp 189 is a fine steel but its not s30 or vg10 when it comes rust resistance.I have a delica in zdp 189 that rusted. Zdp will pit, on my knife it just wasn't surface rust. I don't think zdp is much more stain resistant than d2.
all stainless steels rust. some just take much longer. the fact that zdp belongs to a certain range of rust resistance doesn't make it undesirable in anyway.
