If there were ever a "custom" ZT...

Josh's work is impressive but how do you keep from overheating the blade when you reshape it. I have a ZT that I would like to mod but I don't want to screw the blade temper

I didn't do the grind on this one 😊 I just did the cerakote.

But to answer your question, most people grind dry and dip in water as they go... To be on the safe side (among other reasons) I grind wet with a cutting fluid running over the blade.

Knife looks great! Reminds me a little of the Hogue also.
Josh has done a little work for me and I've got another job around the corner. He's very talented and a good guy. He's also very professional and prompt. If you've got a job but your hesitant to hand your knife over to someone you don't know, rest assured, you'll be more than pleased with Josh's service.

Thanks everyone! Just posted the last update to this one!
