Dave I couldn't remember the name of the compound I used
The Espon SR was what we used. It was a white paste that we used, possibly a light yellow, but that was 9 years ago. It worked good and I don't remember it flaking unless you bumped it. It is probably a better composition now. It comes off during oil quench on 440C as I remember, same for O1. I used it on D2 quite a bit and my knives could have been finished if they wouldn't warp during HT, but believe me I tried a couple of times and I had to leave 1/16" on the edge or it would wave out on me. That's how some of my 4" blade D2 knives became 2 1/2" blades.lol Also the stuff we used you couldn't thin with water, it is a paste.
Dave the Espon HF looks like a better product, the stuff I used was definitely not pink. Reading the specs it appears to be a better grade of anti-scale. Text them or call and ask if you could have a sample for a couple of knives to see how they work, 10 Kgs. for the SR is a lot of compound and 50 for this stuff is through the roof.
