One side of my 200 is ground higher on one side than the other. It will get shaving hair sharp, but does not seem to stay sharp long. I can cut a couple limbs out of the way on my walking trail, and the edge seems to be getting dull. Is it because of the unevn ground blade? I would think 154CM should be a real good steel.
 
I have a couple ZT and some Kershaw knives that have a higher grind on one side as well. While it's a little annoying, the knives are sharpened by hand. I would recommend sharpening the knife, and slapping a microbevel on it. That will make it easier to touch up as needed.
 
Had the same problem. Spent a few days regrinding both sides to the same angle
Took long because I was an idiot and did the whole thing with a medium stone, also wasn't use to the hardness of 154cm yet
