More Volume Without a Larger Footprint
The Paragon KM18 Double Barrel is built for knifemakers, bladesmiths, educators, and fabrication shops that need increased chamber volume for larger blades and higher batch capacity. With a wider, taller 11" W x 18" D x 4.25" H chamber, it offers extra flexibility for sword blanks, bushcraft blades, sculptural tooling, and side-by-side batch processing while keeping a compact overall footprint.
Heat treating in-house gives makers complete control over normalization, hardening, tempering, soak schedules, and experimentation while avoiding the delays and costs of outsourcing. Whether heat treating kitchen knives, outdoor blades, cleavers, dies, tooling, or custom fabricated components, the KM18 Double Barrel delivers the chamber space, repeatability, and thermal consistency professional results require.
