It handles hardening, tempering, annealing, and normalizing cycles.

Without atmosphere control, blades will develop scale and some surface decarburization during hardening. The gas inlet allows you to introduce argon, nitrogen, or other inert gases to create a protective atmosphere that prevents oxidation and maintains surface carbon content.

Paragon's smaller models work for pocket knives and short blades, while larger models accommodate production batches or long swords. The \"Pro\" designation indicates wall-mounted wavy elements and ceramic fiber construction for faster heat-up than brick-lined models. If you're making kitchen knives, camp knives, or tactical folders in small to medium batches, the KM14 Pro hits the sweet spot for capacity and heat-up speed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs this warranty valid if I buy from any seller?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eNo. Paragon's warranty is only valid through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. Purchasing from unauthorized sellers (including many online marketplaces) voids your warranty coverage entirely. You must register your oven within 30 days of delivery and provide proof of purchase from an authorized dealer. As an authorized Paragon dealer in Atlanta, we handle warranty registration, provide factory-trained support, and stock genuine Paragon replacement parts.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-cta\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-cta-title\"\u003eNot sure if the KM14 Pro is the right oven for your knife making operation?\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-cta-sub\"\u003eOur team can help you compare chamber sizes, discuss atmosphere control options, and ensure you have the right electrical service for your space.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peachstatepottery.com\/pages\/contact-us\" class=\"d-cta-link\"\u003eTalk to an expert →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paragon","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":48584759869595,"sku":"KM14PRO-BLUE","price":5128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Berry","offer_id":48584759902363,"sku":"KM14PRO-BERRY","price":5128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sea Glass","offer_id":48584759935131,"sku":"KM14PRO-SEAGLA","price":5128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":48584759967899,"sku":"KM14PRO-NAVY","price":5128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hot Pink","offer_id":48584760000667,"sku":"KM14PRO-HOTPIN","price":5128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turquoise","offer_id":48584760033435,"sku":"KM14PRO-TURQUO","price":5128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jade","offer_id":48584760066203,"sku":"KM14PRO-JADE","price":5128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":48584760098971,"sku":"KM14PRO-BLACK","price":5128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/7160\/9243\/files\/Paragon_KM14_square.jpg?v=1778980720","url":"https:\/\/peachstatepottery.com\/products\/paragon-knife-oven-km14-pro","provider":"Peach State Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
