Saw this on Twitter, the new Ka-Bar Forged Wrench Knife-

I've seen custom forged wrench knives for a while now, pretty cool design and concept.

Wrenches are supposedly D2, that's why you see a lot of them turned into knives.
Compared to a lot of the custom jobs, I think Kabar's attempt looks pretty clean. $55 is really reasonable, but I think I'll wait for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday 50% off everything sale Kabar runs.

I like it.
Didn't even know they made something like that. I know some people make knives from Railroad spikes and files but I've never seen one made from a wrench.

Has some similarities to the knives from WW II era military surplus mess kits.

Exactly what I thought when I first saw it.

I like it but kind of wish it had a wrench end. I mean it's a wrench knife, shouldn't it have a wrench? Or at least turn that hole into a bottle cap opener.

My feeling is it is a knife disguised as a wrench. Sticking out of a pocket or tool pouch nobody would even question it. Actually having a wrench seems like a good idea, but would be dangerous to use. Imho.

Nothing but slick marketing ....
Nowhere does the description say it's made from an actual wrench.
It is simply made/forged to look like it was .
NOT the same thing .. .. .. ..

I have one on the way from KnifeCenter, the only place I could find one in stock at a reasonable price point. Supposedly it's a neck knife but the sheath can be used different ways. I may use a different sheath and carry it differently. Since I use my back pocket for carrying tools when I'm working at the farm, this might work . . .

Arrived today. I added a chain from a Tops Tactical Pen. Has some unique forging marks, really has a wrench feel to it. I might try rigging up something so I can carry it in my back pocket.
