Which heat treat oven is preferred

[Fish30114]

Which of the commercially available heat treat ovens are ya'lls favorite--and which model if you would.

I've been thinking about stepping up to buying my own heat treat oven, and i just wanted input as to what commercially available one you guys would lean towards.

A couple of years ago I went back and forth between Evenheat and Paragon. I liked the Paragon option of pumping argon into the chamber to eliminate needing to wrap stainless steels, but then I talked with people that actually had the argon system and found out it didn't work as well as Paragon would have liked. I ended up buying the Evenheat 22.5" with Rampmaster. I love the oven! I met the owners of Evenheat last year and had an opportunity to talk with them for awhile. After that conversation, I would never consider buying any other oven. They are very tuned-in to the small knifemaker and happy to work with us to make the oven's more user friendly and catered towards the knifemaker. I would love a TAP controller!

Thanks for the feedback J Hoffman I appreciate it, I had actually been leaning to Paragon because I had a nice conversation with there rep at Blade Show, I didn't get to speak to anyone at Evenheat-they were 'over-busy' Your input helps tilt the table.

Thanks--Don
