Ed Caffrey gets my vote

I agree with Ken. I plate quench with aluminum and have found that due to the nature of aluminum it draws heat rapidly from other heated metals. I believe it makes little or absolutely no difference if the plate is touching the entire blade surface. IMO it would only be micro seconds for the...
