• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Josh I thought you expert at this ? Lol
It's screwed on, probably loctite happy
Torch n ice water it a couple times should break the bond
 
Btw, I wasn't able to get the studs off the ZT blade... Didn't have a torch handy at work so I just sent it to you... Now I'm worried lol

Dont' be haha, I am quite familiar with ZT's, hinderers, striders, benchmade, etc. just haven't done a regrind on a DPX yet so figured I'd ask. I got it off without any damage/problems though, was pressed together. Haven't seen one exactly like that before!
