I think that you may have better luck quenching in water.  The ones that I have
done didn't seem to get hard enough in oil.  I didn't temper them at all and
they seemed to work just fine.

I agree with jack. Use the water with no temper. It has worked for me 
but whatever you do don't drop it on a hard surface or it will shatter 
like GLASS. :>(
