The K2 Professional Knife Kiln is the ultimate solution for serious bladesmiths and high-throughput workshops. Built with our Morgan high-performance brick lining and 1500 °C backup insulation, the K2 delivers rapid, even heating across its 15 × 15 × 65 cm chamber, ideal for longer blades, tools, and production-scale heat-treating.
Choose your power configuration: a 10A standard setup or the 15A high-speed upgrade, which doubles heat-up speed for significantly faster turnaround and higher productivity.
