KM9 Double Barrel Knifemaking Kiln

PARAGON KM9 Double Barrel: Wide Chamber Power in a Compact Form

Need more room without sacrificing bench space? The PARAGON KM9 Double Barrel delivers exactly that. With a wider and taller interior than the KM Base line, this compact model offers the versatility to heat treat broader blades, small tools, and even batches of multiple pieces—all while fitting comfortably in smaller workshops.

Why Have a Heat Treating Furnace in Your Shop?

When you bring heat treating in-house, you take full control of your blades' performance. With your own kiln, you can experiment with differential hardening, triple quenching, or fine-tuned tempering cycles—no more guesswork, no more outsourcing delays. Want to know how a blade performs under stress? You won’t just read specs—you’ll test, tweak, and perfect your craft.

Why Choose the PARAGON KM9 Double Barrel?

Built for makers who need more chamber space in a compact format, the KM9 Double Barrel offers a chamber that's both wider and taller than our KM Base models, giving you more freedom for blade positioning and more flexibility in the shop.

• Interior chamber: 13" W x 5.3" H x 9" D (0.36 cubic feet)

• SENTINEL Touch Xpress controller: Intuitive touchscreen control with fully customizable programs for ramp rates, holds, and cool-down cycles.

• Solid-state relay: Provides silent, accurate performance and longer lifespan. Includes a built-in heat sink and backup safety relay.

• 3” firebrick insulation: Superior heat retention for precise and efficient firings.

• Recessed heating elements: Housed in machined grooves for protection, long life, and easy replacement.

• Durable steel construction: Rigid case with built-in stand, designed for the real-world demands of bladesmith shops.

Who is This Furnace For?

The KM9 Double Barrel is ideal for:

• Knife makers needing more vertical clearance

• Bladesmiths working in compact shops but needing greater flexibility than the KM Base series

• Makers who want to heat treat small batches or tools side by side

• Schools or labs needing efficient, high-capacity results in a small footprint

Drop Door Only

All KM Double Barrel models come exclusively with a Drop Door — offering better access, loading flexibility, and a built-in surface when open.

Optional Upgrades
