I can't answer that question. You'd have to ask Matt Conable whether he heat treats his own ZDP or Hitachi does it for him.
I thought from the William Henry video all the blades were ground in Japan. I don't think WH actually does anything besides final assembly and Matt sharpens them. Everything else is farmed out to the best of the best.
