Sharp Bright & Tactical WebMagazine editor Aaron takes a look at the new for 2011 CRKT Ken Onion Skinner. The box calls it the “Onion Unusual Hunter”, though you’ll see it marketed more commonly simply as “Onion Skinner”. Hawaiian knife-making legend Ken Onion supposedly passed prototypes of this design around to hunters, guides & outdoors-people for 5 full years before “perfecting” the design you see in my hands in this video.
