Paragon Knife Oven - KM25T

OPTIONAL:

Tall Heavy Duty Rolling Stand, 18” Square x 12” High, or 24" Square x 12" High with heavy duty casters.

A deluxe, rock-solid kiln stand with locking casters, is now an option. STANDS ARE NOT INCLUDED. Please check the options box if you would like a stand included with your kiln order.
You will enjoy the convenience of effortlessly moving the kiln out of the way when not in use. The stand is rock solid. It fits together with interlocking components that assemble with one size of bolt. (Ships unassembled.)

The 12” tall stand raises the kiln to a convenient
height for loading and unloading. Should you need a vent, merely slide the collection cup of an Orton vent into a mounting bracket on the top of the stand. 

Assemble the stand with simple tools. The stand
slides together with interlocking components that assemble with one size of bolt.

Let’s face it, the battle against warped blades and

inconsistent heat treatment is a constant one for any serious knifemaker. Uneven heating in traditional horizontal kilns can introduce unwanted thermal stresses, leading to frustrating post-quench distortions. This is the issue that we tackled with our KMPro series, by introducing special ceramic fiber for better heat distribution and multizone control to even the temperature across the entire barrel.

Nonetheless, there’s another option that we are pleased to offer: The new KM Vertical Base.

Paragon has been a leader and pioneer for knifemakers not only on horizontal kilns, but also on vertical options. We presented our sand baths and
salt baths almost a decade ago as options to solve the consisted heat distribution, and in 2020, we introduced our highly innovative KMPro Vertical.

We understand that not every knifemaker requires the
top-of-the-line features of the KMPro. Many requested a more economical option that still delivers exceptional results. The KM Vertical Base is our response.

The vertical treat builds on the well-established benefits of upright suspension to achieve uniform 360° heat distribution. This approach minimizes thermal gradients and stress within the blade, resulting in superior dimensional stability and consistent metallurgical properties.

Building on Legacy, with a Focus on Affordability: The KM Vertical Base is designed with more than 75 years of experience. This is an insurance of unmatched quality on materials and designs.
