CONGRATS BLADE Cutlery Hall Of Famer-KEN ONION!!!!

Here's the short story as reported by Blade: Live from the Pit

8:25 am


Presented by Cutlery Hall of Famer Frank Centofante, the induction of Ken Onion into the Hall of Fame last night was a memorable one.

"I think this year's Hall of Fame inductee can be described by two distinct words," said Centofante. "Speed-safe."

That, of course, referring to the patented assisted-opening system Onion is known for.

"Ken Onion's locking mechanisms, teachings and knowledge have led to the growth and expansion of Kershaw knives," Centofante said. "Talking to Ken is really a trip. He has so many ideas, often times you feel like you're riding in a train at 100 mph and trying to catch the scenery on both sides."

An obviously humbled Onion took the stage and accepted his Hall of Fame plaque from Centofante.

"The members of the Cutlery Hall of Fame are my heroes," said a teary-eyed Onion. "My life's goal as a kid was to work for a knife factory and I could never say enough about Kershaw for allowing me to live that dream."
 
Big CONGRATS to Ken. I don't follow these things too closely, so, I have to say I was a little shocked to find out that he wasn't already in.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I just flew home late last night from the blade show and a visit with my family in Sc. Thank you for the congrats!I was floored to hear my name at the banquet and it still hasn't really registered that I am a Hall of Famer.I am truely honored and appreciative of this award.I don't remember what I said when I got on stage to accept the award . I was in shock and probably sounded like a moron. I was told I am the youngest ever and that is pretty damn cool. Thanks again for your support ! I am thrilled beyond words.
