Thanks for the input guys! Good to hear my planned procedure isn't horrible. I figured that keeping the blade wrapped for an oil quench would be a no-go, but it never hurts to ask. So Jim, when you've plate quenched the 440c while its wrapped, has everything worked out alright doing that? I plan on moving to plates eventually, but at the moment I don't have any but I do have a bucket of Parks 50.

Speaking of the oil, is Parks 50 too fast of a quench for this breed of steel? I'd like to avoid warping as much as possible, would I be better served with a slower oil like canola?
