After much searching and calling all over the country, mostly with no success, I have finally found an actually source for fast oil that actually wants to deal with us. I have been sent all over the place from one person to the next who would be able to help me, but then wasn’t able to. I found a place in Alberta that sells it, but won’t ship, and on and on it went. The oil I found is Houghto-Quench-K which is a 7-9 second oil, and very similar to Parks 50. The best part for us Sask boys is that that it will be shipped to a dealer in Regina for me. Right now it’s looking like a 5 gallon pail will come in right around $225 after taxes and such. I can’t really get a volume discount, however the more people that order the sooner it will arrive. The retailer does not want to order one oil alone, and would like to add it to a larger order, so the more pails were ordered, the faster they hit their shipping minimum. Anyone who is interested, please let me know as I hope to get a few guys in on this to make it worthwhile. For the Manitoba guys, I would be willing to pick up your pails too and at least get them as far East as Brandon for you rather than having to arrange shipping. We are talking about placing the order for however many pails we need in about two weeks.
Well that is good news, I have mostly gone to air quench myself but I will talk with a local guy and see if he wants 5 gallons.
I realize this is an old post but figured it was worth a shot since all else has failed in finding a fast quench oil.
@RussGen and all it’s back in stock here at $164.99 for 3 gallons. https://canadianforge.com/products/parks-50-quench-oil-3-gallon-steel-pail Not bad when you consider 3 gallons from USA Knifemaker would be $170.77 U.S (56.99 per gallon on their site). I just ordered one, even though bashed over the head with shipping, as usual something I need for knife making is in freaking AB lol. Anyway since this stuff never stays in stock and is as, ‘rare as rocking-horse sh!t,’ (one of my father-in-laws favourite sayings) if you are so inclined you should grab a pail
MaritimeKnifeSupply has added quench oil to the site. We had customers asking for it so now we sell it. 50 Quench oil, which is parks 50, as Dubois bought the company that made parks 50 and AAA quench oil (AAA is a medium speed quench). Price includes shipping to anywhere in Canada, expect PO Boxes. Lawrence Lake https://maritimeknifesupply.ca/
Great to know Lawrence, it seems quench oil has always been the hardest item to find here in Manitoba. Many thanks
