Quenched in oil vs water on a 1084 hunter knife and the oil won easy

Did my first 1084 blade last month and could not decide between a fast water quench or warm canola oil. Went with the oil at 130F and got a hard edge with zero cracks, no warp either. Anyone got a steel where water is the only real option?

1084 at 130F changed my mind after years of thinking water was always better.
