Paragon · Heat Treating Oven · Dual Chamber Knife Oven
Paragon Knife Oven - Double Barrel KM24 Pro
The KM24 Pro features two independent 24-inch chambers that allow you to heat treat two different blade types simultaneously or run consecutive batches without cooldown delays. Advanced ceramic fiber construction reaches 500°F in minutes, dramatically reducing cycle times compared to traditional brick ovens. Precision temperature control up to 2350°F ensures proper hardening and tempering of high-carbon steels, stainless steels, and tool steels.

Common questions
What types of steel can I heat treat in the KM24 Pro?
The KM24 Pro fires to 2350°F, making it suitable for hardening and tempering high-carbon steels (1095, 1084, 1075), stainless steels (440C, AEB-L, 154CM), and tool steels (D2, A2, O1). The dual chambers allow you to run different steel types at different temperatures simultaneously, or process consecutive batches without cooldown.
Do I need a gas inlet for protective atmosphere?
A gas inlet port is optional but recommended for professional bladesmiths who want to prevent oxidation and decarburization during the hardening process. The port allows you to introduce argon, nitrogen, or other protective gases into the chamber. It's available as an optional accessory and can be installed at time of purchase or added later.
What controller comes standard with the KM24 Pro?
The KM24 Pro includes a professional-grade digital controller with programmable temperature ramps and holds. You can create multi-step heat treating profiles for precise control over hardening, soaking, and tempering cycles. For advanced features like Wi-Fi monitoring and expanded profile storage, the Genesis touchscreen is available as an upgrade.
How does the KM24 Pro compare to single-chamber knife ovens?
The dual-chamber design doubles your production capacity by allowing you to heat treat two batches simultaneously or run consecutive cycles without waiting for cooldown. Each 24-inch chamber operates independently with its own controls and elements. The ceramic fiber construction heats faster than brick ovens, reaching 500°F in minutes rather than an hour or more.
Do I need to purchase this through an authorized dealer for warranty coverage?
Yes. Paragon's one-year limited warranty is only valid on kilns purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. The warranty must be registered within 30 days of delivery. Unauthorized dealers, used equipment, and private-party sales are not covered under manufacturer warranty.
Not sure if the KM24 Pro is the right heat treating oven for your shop?
Our team can help you compare single vs. dual chamber models, discuss electrical requirements, and recommend the right setup for your blade production volume.
