PARAGON KM14 Pro Double Barrel: More Room. More Control. Same Pro Precision.
The PARAGON KM14 Pro Double Barrel offers serious capacity in a mid-length format, with an expanded interior for wider blades, jigs, and batch heat treating—while retaining all the speed and control of the KM Pro line. With its ceramic fiber construction and 2-zone temperature control, it’s built to deliver professional results with every cycle.
Why Have a Heat Treating Furnace in Your Shop?
With your own kiln, you take ownership of your steel. No outsourcing. No uncertainty. You set the rules—control the soak, monitor your temperatures, and tune your quench process down to the degree. Whether you're testing hardness, running multiple blades, or working with exotic steels, the KM14 Pro Double Barrel puts that power in your hands.
Why Choose the PARAGON KM14 Pro Double Barrel?
The KM14 Pro Double Barrel provides the same 14.5" depth as the KM14 Pro, but with a spacious 13.25" wide by 5.25" tall chamber—perfect for heat treating wider blades, tools, or multiple pieces side by side. It combines the speed of ceramic fiber insulation with the consistency of 2-zone temperature control.
-
Interior chamber: 13.25" W x 5.25" H x 14.5" D (0.58 cubic feet)
-
2-Zone Temperature Control: Two thermocouples (front and rear) automatically regulate separate heating zones for superior temperature uniformity.
-
Special Limit Thermocouples: 14-gauge exposed-tip thermocouples deliver fast, accurate feedback for both zones.
-
Solid-State Relays: Mounted to aluminum heat sinks for long-lasting, silent operation and reliable performance under high temperatures.
-
2.5” Ceramic Fiber Insulation: Provides quick heat-up and cool-down, ideal for short or frequent cycles.
-
Surface-Mounted Elements: Wavy heating elements installed along the chamber walls for broad, even heat coverage and extended element life.
-
Guillotine Door: The spring-assisted vertical door lifts up and away from the user for one-handed operation and a safer loading experience—no clearance needed at the sides or rear.
-
Heavy-duty steel cabinet with integrated stand: Rigid construction built for daily use in serious bladesmith environments.
Who is This Furnace For?
The KM14 Pro Double Barrel is ideal for:
-
Bladesmiths working with wide or tall blades, cleavers, or integral knives
-
Makers who use fixtures, jigs, or multiple blade setups
-
Knife shops that need more flexibility without stepping up to a full-size unit
-
Professionals and schools needing fast, efficient 2-zone control in a mid-length chamber
Optional Upgrades
-
Gas Injection Flow Meter: Minimize oxidation and reduce scale buildup with inert gas injection. Available as a kit or factory-installed.
-
Add a solenoid valve: Automates gas delivery—only flows during programmed segments for safety and efficiency.
-
Knifemaking Heat Treating Kit: Includes blade holders, firebrick supports, gloves, and a 31" heat treating fork for safe blade removal.

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.
