Compact, Rapid-Response Heat Treating
The Paragon KM9 Pro Knife Making Kiln is built for bladesmiths, metalworkers, educators, and heat treating professionals who need rapid heat-up times and precise temperature control in a compact footprint. With a 6" W x 9" D x 5.25" H chamber built around 2.5" ceramic fiber insulation, the KM9 Pro reaches 1,500°F in approximately 15 minutes.
Bringing heat treating in-house gives makers complete quality control — develop custom schedules, evaluate new steels, optimize quenching, and fine-tune hardness without relying on outside services. The compact chamber comfortably handles small knives, tooling, test coupons, punches, dies, and other specialty components.
Included with every order
SENTINEL Touch Xpress touchscreen controller with Ramp-Hold programming, instruction manual, and 2-year limited warranty. Optional gas injection flow meter, solenoid valve, and knifemaking heat treating kit available.
