Product Specification
PARAGON KM24 Pro: Extended Reach. Exceptional Precision.
The PARAGON KM24 Pro is built for bladesmiths who need more room to work without sacrificing the speed, control, and consistency that define the KM Pro Series. With a 24" deep chamber, 3-zone temperature control, and a lightweight ceramic fiber body, the KM24 Pro is ready for long blades, batch runs, and demanding thermal cycles.
Why Have a Heat Treating Furnace in Your Shop?
When you control your own heat treatment, you control your results. The KM24 Pro gives you the ability to fine-tune every detail of your cycle—soaking, ramping, quenching—at the exact temperatures and timings your steel demands. Whether you're crafting large blades, refining thermal recipes, or ramping up production, this kiln gives you the tools to succeed.
Why Choose the PARAGON KM24 Pro?
The KM24 Pro is engineered for longer knives, swords, and multi-blade setups. Its 3-zone temperature system maintains uniform heat throughout the full chamber length, ensuring consistent hardening and tempering across even the largest projects. And with ceramic fiber insulation, you'll get to temperature fast—and recover between cycles even faster.
-
Interior chamber: 5.5" W x 4.3" H x 24" D (0.33 cubic feet)
-
3-Zone Temperature Control: Three exposed-tip thermocouples placed along the chamber length are managed independently by the SENTINEL controller for precise temperature balancing.
-
Special Limit Thermocouples: 14-gauge, exposed-tip sensors provide fast thermal response and tighter control across all zones.
-
Solid-State Relays: Mounted on aluminum heat sinks for silent, reliable, and long-term performance—with safety relay included.
-
2.5” Ceramic Fiber Insulation: Lightweight, energy-efficient insulation offers rapid heat-up and cool-down, perfect for high-throughput workflows.
-
Surface-Mounted Elements: “Wavy” wall elements provide broad, even heat distribution and long element life.
-
Guillotine Door: Spring-assisted vertical door lifts up and away, keeping the hot face safely distanced and requiring no side clearance.
-
Steel case with integrated stand: Rigid, durable, and designed to handle the realities of a busy workshop.

-
Bladesmiths heat treating long blades, short swords, or multiple knives at once
