The first 10 seconds of this video is the best explanation I have ever seen for why we move a knife blade up and down during the quench.
THIS is why you move the knife up and down when you quench.

Thanks for the link Chris - It led me to
- amazing what those cartoon folks can do with video. It's all computer generated per the Spin-tires folks.
I would expect a 1832°F Red Hot Copper Ball (RHCB) to cause more action when dropped into a cup of honey. I guess that's something I could try, but I don't have a round copper ball, but do have steel balls. (no snarky comments). I wonder if a cube of copper would work, but the sharp corners would give different cooling aspects. 1832°F is a good bit below melting point of copper at 1984°F.

I actually like the Alo Vera Gel. It looked like it cooled it quick!
