zero edge HT of oil quench blades

[Shawn Hatcher]

Maybe I should quench in bird poop.

That's an utterly ridiculous statement. Everybody knows that guano is the preferred quenchant for high-performance blades.

Anyone know the quench speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

African Swallow or Martian Swallow?

I was going to apologize for what I've started - but nahhhhh.... It's kinda fun.

Yes it is, and we should always try to think happy thoughts and envision the blade coming out as straight and as true as an arrow.

I did follow the link Tai but I'm still not sure. This is about those special brownies you can get in British Columbia right? They have oil too, but I'm not sure it would be suitable for fast quench.

So, on Boss' note to bring it home..... ;-) Obviously best to avaiod the zero edge on anything oil quench, BUT.... I've dedicated a blade rack to short pins, so if the blade does lean over it only touches the meaty side of the blade instead of the delicate edge. Thanks for all the input and all the fun that followed dogs.

Rob!
