Our K1 Knife Furnaces are precision-engineered for serious bladesmiths. Built with our new high-performance brick lining and nanopore backup insulation, the K1 delivers exceptionally fast heat-up times without sacrificing thermal stability or efficiency.
Intense heat is delivered via two side elements and an embedded roof emlement, all designed for easy replacement if ever requred.
This kiln also comes equipped with a vented casing for greatly reduced outer temperatures!
Choose from either 12wide × 12high × 45deep cm or 12wide × 12high × 65deep cm chambers, providing generous space for knives, tools, and heat-treating projects, while maintaining tight temperature control for perfect results every time.
*65CM chamber requires 15A.

Advanced Insulation System
The ECO kiln line is engineered to fire up to twice as fast and twice as efficiently as standard market kilns, thanks to our advanced three-layer insulation structure.
Each layer is purpose-selected for its temperature band, resulting in:
Faster heat-up and cool-down
Considerably lower energy usage
Reduced operating costs
Power Options
10A – standard household outlet (only available with the 45CM chamber)
15A – faster firing with high-speed element upgrade (standard with the 65CM chamber)
