ZT 0200KW - Pics, groveling request for Kershaw Admin

[Murky Depth]

I have a 0350KW and a 0200KW and both WERE bead blasted.
I softened the G-10 and polished the blades on both knives. I don't particularly care for stone wash or bead blast and especially not DLC.

Wow, that looks gorgeous. How did you preserve the ZT logos? I've refinished one of my blades with 1000-grit sandpaper, but I ended up getting rid of the logo in the process. I'd love to hear what you used & how you got your blade & scales that finish.

Yeah, mine is 0012 and bead blast. It also does NOT have "Ken Onion Design" on it.

On the G-10 I used 400 grit wet/dry followed by 2000 grit wet/dry. I did it all by hand in water (no dust) and was careful with the 400 grit not to remove too much texture and not remove any material that would effect the G-10 to metal tolerances. I used the 2000 mostly on the edges for a polished look. Both knives still have plenty of traction but are now much friendlier to the hand and pocket.

The blades were easy, just 2000 grit wet/dry, water and patience. I did it anticipating I might lose the laser etching but they were pretty much unaffected.
