About the Maker

Onion, Ken

In November of 1991, Ken Onion began making knives under the guidance of Stan Fujisaka. After his first session with Mr. Fujisaka, Ken knew he was hooked and ordered his Burr King grinder. Ken has always been fascinated by high speed machinery with precision tolerances. His background as a jet mechanic in the Marine Corps. and later as a robot mechanic helped to hone his technical skills. Furthermore, Ken is blessed with a talent for design. The combination of these two gifts set the groundwork for the creation of the SPEED SAFE mechanism in 1997. The youngest ever inductee into the Blade Magazine Hall of Fame in 2008, he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful knife designers of all time. In 1996 he created the first commercially successful assisted opening mechanism, and 20 years later unveiled his award-winning Field Strip Technology. As the designer of the successful Eros™ folder series, as well as the award-winning Hi Jinx™, Ken never seems to be at a loss for ideas.

Kershaw Knives

"Kershaw was founded in 1974 to design and manufacture tools that knife users would be proud to own, carry, and use. This has meant that every Kershaw knife must be of the highest quality. Whether it’s a hardworking pocketknife, a hunting knife, or a special collectors’ edition, Kershaw always chooses appropriate, high-quality materials and is dedicated to intensive craftsmanship. Along with extremely tight tolerances and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, this ensures that Kershaw knives provide a lifetime of performance. Kershaw pioneered the use of many of the technologies and advanced materials that are today standard in the knife industry. Our SpeedSafe assisted opening knives were first-to-market. We introduced the concept of knives with interchangeable blades in our Blade Traders. Recently, our Composite Blade technology, which combines two steels into one blade, gives knife users the best of both worlds by enabling us to use steel known for edge retention on the edge and steel known for strength on the spine. And we will keep on innovating, bringing new and better technologies and materials to today's knifemaking industry and knife-using public." He is also a Journeyman Smith in the ABS!
