This is what I've been using for heat treating and forging my carbon steel knives.

Completely relined the forge in January 2011 (last month), used once and decided that I really don't use it too often these days to keep it.

From the manufacturer:

Equipped with insulated doors on both ends for easy entry and removal of Damascus billets. Comes fitted for propane, but can be configured for natural gas. Regulator and Hose included, operates off a standard 20lb propane tank, the same type used for barbecue grills Reaches 2350 degrees. The heat Chamber is 4" x 4 1/2" x 13 1/2". Exhaust port on one door is 3" x 2". Ship weight is 48 lbs.


It's a capable and portable forge. I heat treat all my 5160 knives in it -from skinners to camp knives. I've also used it to make stainless laminate -O1 core (push dagger is not included in the sale of the forge, it is just an example of what can be done with it):

You might not know the answer to this but, how does this forge compare to the Majestic knife forge on ebay? The reason I ask is that the Majestic is $324 new. Maybe it is inferior to the one you are selling?
 
I just did a search on ebay and the forge that is listed looks like a cheaper copy of the NC Tool Company Forge.

Here's the original forge's website:

This forge was $553 new. The burners look safer than the ebay "Majestic" version (no teflon and multiple brass fittings).

The sheet metal on the NC Tool Company's forge is also thick, and the insulation looks thicker.

As with most things in knifemaking, you get what you pay for. I've used this forge since day one, and it's running just as good as when I first purchased it. Plus, the company has really good customer service, I had a few questions when I relined it and they were very helpful.
 
do you still have this forge ? if so what are you asking for it . I live down the road from you in Redondo Beach.
Thanks , Army
