Hi,
Need to heat treat first blade 1084. I'm not prepared to pay for 25 litres of formulated quenchant (have made enquiries) . As next best thing will use heated peanut or canola oil. Read tons about interupting the quench and was wondering how it was done? Looking at the charts I figure I could pull the blade after 5 - 10 seconds agitated in the oil? I don't really know, can anyone elaborate? Is it really neccessary for 1084? Alternativley , does anyone know where I can get about 5L of formulated in the UK?
