Old smith in Hannibal told me to stop quenching 5160 in water, and I still think about it
I was at a hammer-in near Hannibal, Missouri about 8 months ago and this older guy watched me dunk a 5160 blade straight into the water tank. He walked over, pulled it out, and said "son, that steel is gonna crack on you every time." Sure enough it had a hairline crack I never saw. Anyone else run into that or is oil the only way to go with 5160?

Man that sinking feeling when you find the crack after, been there and it stings.
