Shoutout to the guy who told me to try a different quench oil
I was getting soft spots on my 1084 steel blades for about two years, no matter how careful I was with the heat. Switched from the cheap stuff to Parks 50 last month and the difference is night and day, every piece comes out hard and even. Anyone have a good source for it that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Wait, was the cheap oil really that bad?

Remember my buddy who kept getting warped springs? He swore it was his forge, but it was just old, thin canola oil. Switched to a proper fast oil and his success rate went from maybe half to almost every single one.
