Long-Chamber Heat Treating for Blades
The Paragon KM36 Knife Making Kiln is built for professional bladesmiths, knifemakers, educators, and fabrication shops that need maximum chamber length for long blades, swords, and batch heat treating. With a 5.5" W x 36" D x 4.25" H chamber, the KM36 delivers the capacity, precision, and reliability demanding heat treating applications require.
Bringing heat treating in-house provides complete control over normalization cycles, hardening temperatures, tempering schedules, soak times, and cooling profiles. The extended chamber length is ideal for swords, large chef knives, machetes, long fixed-blade knives, tooling, punches, dies, and batch-processing multiple blades at once.
