Kershaw Pocket Knife
The Kershaw Pocket Knife combines in itself all the characteristics that any knife worth its salt must have. Elegant and innovative designs, quality materials, excellent craftsmanship and finish, and in most of them a really cool assisted opening device: the SpeedSafe system. There is no wonder why the Kershaw's are some of the most popular pocket knives on the market nowadays.
One of the principal achievements of Kershaw was the creation of a whole new category of folder knives between manual and auto on the industry, the assisted opening knives. The SpeedSafe technology designed by Ken Onion filled a gap for those who were searching for a folder that was easier to manipulate than what was available at the time, but not a switchblade. And truly the SpeedSafe mechanism is one of the highlights of these knives. It is simply addictive! The knives can be opened by pulling back on a blade protrusion with the index finger or by manual pushing on the blade’s thumb stud. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position, ready for use, really an asset in these knives.
Ken Onion
Ken Onion is a custom knife maker, who designed many of the most popular Kershaw's models. He designed the SpeedSafe technology that made Kershaw's knives so famous. Since his union with Kershaw in 1998, he and Kershaw have produced some of the best pocket knives on the market, pocket knives which have won several awards on the industry. The Boa, the Chive, the Scallion, the Leek, and the Blur to name only a few. He is also the creator of an excellent line of kitchen knives: the Shun Ken Onion knives. These knives have the distinct curve geometry, proper of all Ken Onion knives, and they are one of the best on the market to use in the kitchen, a little expensive for my taste though.
