Ken Onion seems to be enjoying his huge checks from Kai and CRKT while he cranks out a few folders a year at whatever pace he chooses. He already penned the ZT 0100 fixed blade, which is an amazing knife, but to get Mr.Onion to contract with Ka Bar for a couple of designs would require some pretty huge amounts of money that I dont think Ka Bar is willing to part with although Cutco can afford it. I hope Ken is enjoying his very well deserved relaxation on Hawaiian beaches...
