Guys, I have been working with ATS-34, 1080, and 01 for a while now and have decided to give 1095 a go. I use peanut oil for all of these steels and have awesome results but know this not to be true with 1095.
My question is what products are available that aren't $58.00 a gallon? The tough quench from Brownells seems nice but I cant justify $200 on 3 gallons of oil right now. So I am looking for a good alternative that I CAN FIND cause I know parks #50 is good but I need 3 gallons and dont want to drop a crazy amount of money on it. If you can recommend anything please do and if you can give me a resource for getting the stuff, Im guessing anything faster than a 10 second oil will work, I have even entertained getting a polymer based quench but dont know where to find them. Thanks
