Black / D2 Steel / G10 w/Stainless Steel Bolster Handle
The son of legendary knifemaker Ken Onion has big shoes to fill. But if his first CRKT knife is any indication, Kenny Onion will be casting his own shadow instead of standing in his father’s. An EDC with a stately appearance, the Bamboozled™ is a refined folder that blurs the lines between classic and modern—the fine watch of the knife world, with an understated elegance that will impress anyone savvy enough to know where to look. This blacked out version of the Bamboozled™ pairs its timeless looks with utilitarian materials, including a coated D2 tanto blade for superb edge retention and a grippy G10 handle with a stainless steel bolster. It uses both Assisted Opening — his Father’s Speedsafe technology — and IKBS™ bearings for fast and smooth action.

- Assisted Opening: Flipper deploys the blade fast
- Smooth Opening: IKBS™ ball bearing pivot deploys the blade smooth
- Easy Closing: Liner lock can be easily closed with one hand

DesignerKenny OnionMooresville, North Carolina
As the son of a legendary knifemaker, Kenny Onion is no stranger to rolling up his sleeves and getting his hands dirty in the shop. Growing up in Hawaii, he spent countless hours with his famous father, Ken Onion building elaborate projects like gas-powered scooters and potato launchers. It was this sense of curiosity and love of design that led Kenny to pursue a career as a maker and machinist. He spent the better part of a decade mastering CAD and collaborating with his father, and fellow knifemaker Jeff Park, to produce the graphics on their knives using fiber optic lasers. Kenny’s first production knife, the Bamboozled™, is a testament to his refined aesthetic and the subtle influences from his father – while standing on his own as a legend in the making.
