KA-BAR Blackout Forged Wrench Fixed Knife 425 High Carbon SS Blade and Handle KA1119BK

The KA-BAR Blackout Forged Wrench Fixed Knife is a bold blend of industrial design and proven cutting performance, built for those who appreciate tools that do more than one thing well. At first glance, it looks like it belongs in a toolbox. Once it’s in hand, it’s clear this is a serious fixed blade forged with KA-BAR’s long-standing commitment to strength, function, and American craftsmanship.

This knife is drop forged from a single piece of 425 high carbon stainless steel, forming both the blade and handle as one continuous structure. That full-length construction delivers excellent strength and durability, making it a dependable option for everyday utility tasks and light outdoor use. The 3.0-inch drop point blade features a flat grind and a plain edge sharpened to a 20-degree angle, offering controlled slicing power and reliable tip strength. With a blade thickness of .19 inches and a wide 1.19-inch profile, it provides a solid, confident cutting feel without unnecessary bulk.

The black oxide coating gives the knife its blackout appearance while helping reduce glare and protect against wear. Because each knife is forged rather than stamped or machined, every piece has its own subtle variations in finish and texture. No two are exactly alike, adding a unique character that reflects the forging process itself. The tang stamp, marked KA-BAR OLEAN NY / DROP FORGED STEEL, reinforces its heritage and American-made quality.

The wrench-inspired handle isn’t just for looks. Its shape offers a secure, comfortable grip and reinforces the knife’s utilitarian personality. Weighing just 0.2 pounds and measuring 7.13 inches overall, the Blackout Wrench Knife is compact and easy to carry while still offering the strength you’d expect from a fixed blade. The Rockwell hardness rating of 56–58 strikes a practical balance between edge retention and toughness, making maintenance straightforward over time.

For carry and storage, the knife includes a Celcon® sheath made in the USA. It provides secure retention and convenient access, whether you’re wearing it on a belt or stowing it in a pack. Manufactured in the United States from start to finish, this knife stands as a functional tool with unmistakable character, built for users who value durability, originality, and dependable performance.
