Anyone in Minnesota have Parks #50?

[syvmn]

I'm looking to make a few knives out of W2 in the coming months. After scrounging the forums in hopes I would see that I could in fact use canola oil to quench the W2 successfully, I have come to the conclusion Parks #50 is my only option. Is there anyone in the Twin cities that has a bucket that wants to sell me a gallon?

Its either that or profile and quench in water, then work on the knife. I still think I'll probably crack it though.

Thanks

I can't find any quench oils on his site at all.

Do you have a link to them?

He's got some different quench oils and will sell in smaller volumes (Though you may have to run down to Mankato.

Give him a shout

You can order it from Maxim in Texas. They 5 gallon buckets of Parks 50 for $72.50, plus the cost of UPS ground to your location. Call Marla at 817 293 4-OIL. She'll fix you up.
