I know there are a few ways folks put their hot blades in the quench oil. One is to quench the edge by putting the blade on a restricter plate and rocking it back and fourth. Another is to stab it in all the way point first, and one more would be to dunk it all the way under edge first. Is one better than the other or are they just different methods?
I started by rocking the edge myself but no longer do that as I had a bit of a quech oil fire one day. I do not have that problem by submeging the blade all at once. Maybe some flash, but a much lower risk for a full on fire in the quench tank.
