For captains of the kitchen.

The Onion 8” Chef Knife is the flagship of the first culinary knife set from CRKT®, designed by acclaimed custom knifemaker Ken Onion. It’s an incredible hybrid of Eastern and Western knifemaking tradition, built for both push and pull cutting. Ken studied chefs in the kitchen to perfect every aspect of the knife, from blade shape to handle width. The Damasteel blade delivers powerful performance and weight is kept to a minimum thanks to titanium bolsters and a carbon fiber handle. Made without a full tang, the knife is built to withstand the repeated temperature changes kitchen knives endure, where blade and handle materials expand and contract at different rates. All Onion Kitchen Knives come with a laser-engraved walnut box.

Ken is the real deal. The youngest ever inductee into the Blade Magazine Hall of Fame in 2008, Ken is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful knife designers of all time. In 1996 he created the first commercially successful assisted opening mechanism, and 20 years later unveiled his award-winning Field Strip Technology. Now, this world-changing innovation sets a new standard with Field Strip Gen II technology, a reinvention that’s bound to live up to its name.
