PARAGON KM14 Double Barrel: Wider. Taller. Still All Business.
Need more room for broad blades or batch work? The PARAGON KM14 Double Barrel expands your workspace without complicating your setup. With a wider and taller chamber than the KM Base line—and a generous 14.5" depth—this model is perfect for makers who need a bit more room to work with serious steel.
Why Have a Heat Treating Furnace in Your Shop?
Owning a furnace isn’t just about bringing the process in-house—it’s about unlocking creative and technical freedom. Whether you're testing new quenching cycles or mastering a high-performance steel, the KM14 Double Barrel lets you do it all with confidence. No waiting on third parties. No compromises. Just complete control over the soul of your blades.
Why Choose the PARAGON KM14 Double Barrel?
If you work with wider blades, taller profiles, or want the flexibility to heat treat multiple pieces side by side, the KM14 Double Barrel is the model for you. It's built for makers who demand capacity and consistency.
-
Interior chamber: 13" W x 5.3" H x 14.5" D (0.58 cubic feet)
-
SENTINEL Touch Xpress controller: Easy-to-use touchscreen for precise ramp, hold, and cool-down programming.
-
Solid-state relay: Runs quietly, lasts longer, and provides pinpoint temperature control. Includes heat sink and backup safety relay.
-
3” firebrick insulation: Keeps the heat where it belongs—inside the chamber for energy-efficient performance.
-
Recessed heating elements: Installed in machined grooves to protect the elements and simplify replacements.
-
Heavy-duty steel exterior: Built tough for professional bladesmith shops, with a built-in stand to elevate the kiln safely off your bench.
Who is This Furnace For?
The KM14 Double Barrel is ideal for:
-
Bladesmiths working with cleavers, kukris, or wide-profile blades
-
Makers running side-by-side batch cycles
-
Knife makers who want more vertical clearance for guards, bolsters, or tooling
-
Schools and R&D teams seeking more capacity in a manageable size
Its combination of length, height, and width make it one of the most versatile models in the KM Double Barrel line.
Drop Door Only
All KM Double Barrel kilns come exclusively with a Drop Door, providing maximum loading space and a convenient resting platform for blades or tools.
Optional Upgrades
-
Gas Injection Flow Meter: Displace oxygen with inert gas (like argon) to minimize scale buildup during firing.
-
Add a solenoid valve: Automate gas injection for safer, more efficient operation—gas only flows when needed.
-
Knifemaking Kit: Holds blades vertically and evenly for balanced heat exposure and consistent hardening.

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.
