yeah, with 1085 you should be fine with oil anyways and it does reduce warping quite significantly. I invested in 15 liters of quenching oil some time back but I rarely use it because most of my steel is water-hardening, and it is really hard to get a proper hardness with oil with that steel. I used it for heat-treating some 12c27 sandvik which it is really good for.
ohh yeah, for ss i want to move to aluminium plates and air quench, they say it's good for thin kitchen knives (i use 2.2 or 3 mm stuff) but will see xD
