Keshaw Ken Onion

Kershaw's Ken Onion knife is probably my favorite knife.  It fits well in my hand and has a great assisted opening feature that doesn't depend on your ability to hook it on the inside of your pocket, like the CQC-10.  The Emerson CQC-10 is a great knife, don't get me wrong, but the Kershaw just takes it to the next level.

The other thing that I like is that it's not a chisel grind, like the Emerson.  For me, that means it's easier to sharpen.  It's easy to keep razor sharp and is a tough knife.  I've used it a lot around the house and out in the field and it's never failed to impress.  It slices and dices through cardboard and rope like going through warm butter.

The outside is equipped with Trac-Tec grip-tape inserts which makes it easy to hold on to.

The blade is beefy without being too big.  It's a good size for everyday carry without being obtrusive in your pocket.

Check out the video on the assisted opening feature.

You won't go wrong with this knife.
