Wider, Taller Chamber for Batch Heat Treating
The Paragon KM36 Double Barrel is built for bladesmiths, educators, fabrication shops, and metalworkers who need additional chamber length and expanded working space. With a 11" W x 36" D x 4.25" H chamber — wider and taller than standard KM models — it offers outstanding flexibility for large blades, cleavers, short swords, custom fixtures, and side-by-side batch processing.
Heat treating in-house gives makers complete control over normalization, hardening, tempering, soak schedules, and experimentation while eliminating the delays of outsourcing. Whether heat treating chef's knives, bushcraft blades, cleavers, tooling, or custom fabricated components, the KM36 Double Barrel delivers the chamber space, consistency, and control needed for dependable professional results.
