Which wrench?

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'll ask Ray.

I recently enjoyed pounding a knife out of an old JCPenny's combo wrench. The blade heat-treated like most oil-hardening tool-steels I've used.

While I'm not known for forging knives, I find myself doing more and more of it as I continue to expand my skill set, so I think I'd like to do a few more wrench knives.

The question: What brand of of modern wrenches which can be purchased at a local hardware store offers good tool steel in the oil-hardening family?

Thanks!
