9/16 of a Knife


I made this pair of knives on a bit of a whim.  I was cleaning up my garage, and trying to find a place to put some old wrenches I picked up in a box of miscellaneous items at an auction.  The last wrench was an old 9/16" combination wrench.  The 9/16" is of special significance to a handful of family and friends, so, I decided to make each half into knives.





Each knife has a custom made sheath.  As the wrenches were in pretty rough shape prior to adding the knives, I did not polish these.

These knives were given away as gifts.  A close friend has the open-end wrench-knife and his grandson has the other half.  It should be noted that these are not the most practical knives (or wrenches).  Extreme care should be taken when tightening or loosening nuts or bolts!
