Technical Overview
Overview & Function
The Paragon KM14 is a single-chamber knife-making kiln recognized as a trusted favorite since 1986. It delivers compact efficient professional heat treating for bladesmiths and small shops. The long-standing positioning reflects consistent pro-level hardening and tempering support in a space-saving footprint.

This kiln fits knifemakers, farriers, and tool shops seeking a proven compact single-chamber heat-treat unit.
