Tried quenching a 1084 blade in canola oil from the grocery store and the hamon came out way darker than my usual parks 50
Bought a $6 jug at the Kroger in Dayton last month just to see what would happen, and the edge hardened fine but the finish looks almost smudged compared to my normal quench, so now I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this with food grade oils or if I just got a weird batch?
