Kershaw designer's

Well as far as custom knife makers designing models there is RJ Martin, Rick Hinderer, and Tim Galyean (who I believe now just works for Kershaw). Grant & Gavin Hawk have designed knives for them, as did Lee Williams.

There's also Tommy Lucas and Jim MacNair who are in-house designers. I'm sure there are more.

Ken Onion no longer works with Kershaw, by the way.
 
Thanks.
How would you find out who designed what,like the Blur,Echleon and Skyline.
I hope the parting of Ken Onion and Kershaw was a happy one,I liked his designs.
 
Ken Onion designed the Blur. I believe Tommy Lucas designed the Skyline, but I could be wrong though.
 
A lot of the knives say right on them if they were designed by a big name, like my OD-1, which was Lee Williams, and my RAM, which is the Hawks. If it doesn't say on them, I would assume it's designed in house.
 
I remember that the Echelon was designed by a new guy they picked up in 2011. Not sure of his name.
 
I was wondering about the Ken Onion thing myself. Hope it was an amicable departure as well.
 
sounded like it

there still making his knives, he want too move on as i understand it. and they have a lot of customer makers now. so that could been part of it?

The Echelon was an in-house design.

This is correct.
 
Aww, I liked Ken Onion's designs. I loved the recurves he did.
