  I quench in Canola oil ,I did heat the oil up some before quenching the Hawk .the edge harden pretty hard , a file would skate across the edge  ..I then temped back some where a file would just cut the edge. The handle is Curly Maple from Dunlap Woodcrafter ,they have a web site . I use Aquafortis Regent stain ,this stain bring out the Curly Maple and I also applied a thin wash coat of Cherry stain too. The Aquafortis Reagent is available from Track of the Wolf they also have a web site to order from
