About Ken
Many already know about Ken Onion and his innovative designs and features that have become game-changers for the knife industry. Mechanisms like Speed Safe™ for fast-assisted opening knives, and Field Strip™ allowing users to break down and clean knives without the use of additional tools. Ken’s designs have impacted the entire knife industry, and he has earned his place in the Blade Magazine Hall Of Fame.
Ken’s achievements reach beyond knives. Ken is also well known for his collaboration with Work Sharp Sharpeners. With Ken’s focus on high quality and inventive spirit, we created a sharpener that is a premier Work Sharp product. We are fortunate to have worked alongside Ken and look forward to the next decade of innovation and partnership.
