Thread: Parks 50, where can I find it

I have been using brine for my 1095 blades and want to give Parks 50 a whirl. Where can I find some?

Google Browning gunsmith supply - not sure that is the correct sequence of words. Maybe USA Knife Makers caries it.

I just got an answer, this is why you can't find "Parks 50", because Parks was bought out:

Good morning, Scott,

We do carry the #50 Quench Oil in 5 gallon pails for $92.01 + shipping via UPS (or FedEx Ground if you prefer).

The #50 Quench Oil is a fast quenchant, in the 7-9 second laboratory range. It is very commonly used in the knifesmithing community. It is manufactured by Heatbath Corporation (which many years ago purchased Park Metallurgical), and has a long, long history of being the preferred fast quenchant.

We would love to set you up with a pail. Just let us know, and we will take care of you!

I bought 5 gallons of #50 from a retired knife maker about 6-7 years ago and I'll still take half that with me to my grave .

Be sure to warn the undertaker in advance. Otherwise the cremation is bound to be full of excitement.

It's on it's way!:

The UPS charges to your 74738 zip code would be # 28.82, for a total invoice amount of $120.83.

Let us know if you need anything else!
