I ordered some parks 50 on Tuesday. This is my first order with cf&f. About an hour later I get a shipping email thinking it was a shipping request notification. I thought " wow that was quick". I was wrong. It was a notification that my purchase had shipped! I come home Friday and my oil is sitting on my porch in Ontario. Thats the fastest customer service I have ever seen. The shipping was also very reasonable given the 3 gallons of oil.
Yup same with me. I posted they were selling Parks 50 again a few months back, and their service on that was awesome.
Hey Scott, I also just ordered 3 gal. Of 50 and AAA. Thank you for the post. Wish I would have heard of this place many knives ago.
You store it in the pail it comes in bud, it has a resealable locking lid (on the parks 50 I have anyway). What you quench in is up to you, I quenched straight in the pail first time lol!
Yeah thanks Griff but what I'm wondering is things like do I clean all the slag out that falls off the hot quenched blade after each session. Do I place a screen in the bottom to catch it all. Max temp. to let the oil to rise to. Anything that a rookie might screw up on to gìve it a long life.
I think putting a catch-basket in the oil is a good idea. As for the oil itself, sure it quenches knives, but it’s created for repeated use in industries quenching all manner of different metals and thicknesses. A pail of oil should last you a very very very long time.
Just wanted to add that I am super impressed with this place. I had been hunting for Parks 50 for a long time before I stumbled on this post. I ordered a pail late In the day on Monday. Wednesday at noon it was sitting in my garage in south east Saskatchewan. Crazy fast processing and shipping. And a way better price than any other option I ever found for Parks 50. Would totally recommend these guys if they have what you need.
I too want to say how pleased I am with their service. I had ordered online and within a half hour I had a phone call suggesting a faster shipping method. Very nice employee to deal with and she answered a few questions I had unrelated to my order. The kind of service that leaves you feeling good afterwards.
