Custom Knifemaker Ken Onion began his quest as a marine mechanic, designing knives. After years of R&D, he created the first "SpeedSafe" knife. Today, Ken designs knives for Kershaw - all of them featuring the patented SpeedSafe torsion bar mechanism of assisted opening. His involvement insures each "Onion" meets his standards.

Is Speed-safe a Switch Blade?
T are many unique features of Speed-Safe knives that make them quite different than knives that are considered switchblades. Unlike a switchblade, Speed-Safe blades DO NOT deploy with the push of a button in the handle or by gravity alone. Instead, the user must manually overcome the torsion bar's resistance-using the thumb stud or Index-Open protrusion on the blade itself-in order to engage the Speed-Safe system. Because the user must manually overcome the torsion bar's resistance, Speed-Safe knives fall fully outside the Federal definition of a switchblade. However, due to the complexity and constantly changing nature of these laws and regulations, it is impossible for Kershaw Knives to be aware of every restriction in every location in which their knives are sold or carried. It is the responsibility of the buyer to investigate and comply with the laws and regulations that apply in his or her specific area. Kershaw is proud to be able to offer this convenient, secure technology.

What is Speed-safe?
Speed-Safe is the patented, assisted-opening system built into many of Kershaw's best-selling Ken Onion knives. Speed-Safe assists the user to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud or Index-Open system. (Index-Open uses a protruding portion of the blade's finger guard to give the user an alternative to the thumb stud. The user manually pulls back on the protrusion with the index finger to open the blade.
