So much talk about this Ken Onion gentleman I will definitely look into it.

I really don't know how to answer your question in the rapid fire, capulized, "give it to me quick" two sentence answer. Ken Onion is a long standing master knife maker that among other things is an innovator of the "speed safe" opening system. Gee, if you want to you can monitor these forums and even see him post a few notes. You might even want to spend some time and go through old threads on the forum (kinda get used to seeing his name and pick up a few things he has to say). If you're really interested in knives, you'll note that there are a lot of makers that post on this forum that are actually written about in magazines! That's as brief as I can get. Happy Thanksgiving.
 
Ken Onion is many things, one of the best knife makers, an American who lives in Hawaii with his very cool wife, an inventor, and IMO, a genius. He's also a real nice guy who loves knives and Harley's I believe.

He has to be the most handsome man I ever met.

Joking aside he is a very fortunate guy to have so many friends and supporters. You guys alwayse make my day.

Aloha!!! Ken Onion
 
He's the guy who helps Tim (Blade Tech) Wegner go shopping for shirts.

They also both support new knife companies.

Stay sharp!

Gee, I thought he was a Mythological Greek god, sent to earth to create torsion bar actuated knives?

But then, I may be wrong...

Gary,

Most statues I've seen of mythological Greek gods have really small Pe*is's ,I've got an ego to keep up here so take it easy!

Jim ,

It takes a colorful individual to wear colorful aloha shirts like Tim and I .I'll look forward to seeing you at Shot Show in full Aloha attire also ,Maybe we'll start a trend who knows .

copfish,

So your a transplanted pineapple? Thats great, were all over the place. I'm also a biker hopefully getting a new 2000 Road King if the good Lords willing and the creek don't rise.I'm just afraid that if I do I'll neglect my knives and grow a really long pony tail to offset my tatoos and belly.

Ken, sorry about that, I thought you knew! They are Magical and therefore nothing to be ashamed of...
