Who is This Furnace For?
The KM24 Double Barrel is ideal for:
-
Bladesmiths producing long, wide-profile blades like chef’s knives, bushcraft knives, kukris, or short swords
-
Makers who prefer treating multiple blades or components in a single run
-
Workshops using jigs or fixtures that require more vertical or lateral space
-
Schools or labs working with varied tool geometries or extended cycle testing
Its full 24" depth combined with the spacious cross-section makes it one of the most versatile and capable furnaces in the lineup.
Drop Door Only
All KM Double Barrel kilns are equipped with a Drop Door, offering the best access to the wide chamber and a convenient staging surface when open.
Optional Upgrades
-
Gas Injection Flow Meter: Reduce scale by replacing oxygen inside the kiln with inert gas (argon, nitrogen, etc.). Available as a kit or factory-installed.
-
Add a solenoid valve: Automatically manages gas flow during your program—only flows when needed for safety and savings.
-
Knifemaking Kit: Hold and align blades for consistent and efficient hardening during every cycle.

Get a Gas Injection Flow Meter (GIFM) and Solenoid Kit
Achieving a clean, scale-free blade finish during heat treatment isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about quality, consistency, and minimizing post-processing time. The Gas Injection Flow Meter (GIFM) is a trusted tool among professional bladesmiths and heat treaters for precisely that reason.
Minimize Scale, Maximize Results
During high-temperature heat treating, oxygen in the kiln chamber reacts with the steel surface, producing unwanted oxidation scale. Traditionally, this has been mitigated using stainless steel foil wrap—a solution that works, but comes with added cost, time, and waste.
With the GIFM installed, you can introduce an inert gas like argon or nitrogen directly into the firing chamber. This displaces oxygen and significantly reduces oxidation, helping you:
Eliminate or reduce the need for stainless foil
Retain sharper blade edges and crisper grind lines
Improve consistency in finish and minimize cleanup
Create a cleaner working environment
Take control even further with the Solenoid Valve Kit, which works in tandem with the GIFM. This upgrade lets you:
Automate gas flow by turning it on/off at specific stages of the firing process (per segment)
Ensure gas is flowing only when needed—saving resources and increasing safety
Achieve repeatable, precision-controlled atmospheres in your heat treating cycles
Perfect for advanced users and production settings, this upgrade transforms your kiln into a highly efficient and customizable heat treating system.
This system has been field-proven by bladesmiths, metalworkers, and heat treatment professionals who demand the best finish and tightest process control.
Whether you’re eliminating scale on high-carbon steel or refining your results with stainless alloys, the GIFM with optional solenoid valve gives you an edge—literally and figuratively.
