Hi there Brian,

I've no idea about that Quench oil you're asking and I also have "quech oil" that I don't kow what is it good for. I hope you won't mind me posting it here instead of making another thread. What I have is a: Texaco QUENCHTEX B OIL. Would appreciate any comment about it specially as to what kind of steel is it good for.

I'd say it's about 50 points better than that Parks stuff.






I kid, I kid.

I just realized the manufacturer did not paste in the original post. The quench oil is made by "Condat". It is not "DoAll S-100". From what I gather this oil would work well for O1, 5160, L6, 52100 probably 1075, 1084, and maybe 1095. They claim 10 seconds for speed, would that qualify this oil for 1095?

WOW! I finally find a member that is close to me!

To answer your question I am looking into this oil for at work, but would like to use it for knives at home as well, if it will be suitable. I do have a local distributer in Irwin PA. The price I was quoted was $66.50 for 5 gallons.

Thank you much for this link bladsmth. Looks like this quenchant is ideal for fast hardening steels like the 10xxx series and maybe some damascus steel. Just my take anyway.
