Onus

Evening suit for knives

Del Ben is a successful and presstigious name in the kitchen accessories market, a leading brand for premium cutting tools, a name that recalls top quality, style and decades of Italian handcraft tradition, flourished in the famous district of cutlery located in Maniago.

“The stroke left by a pencil is like the mark left by the blade of a knife”

Simplicity, essence and purity are keywords of the Del Ben product language. These were balanced with care in the design of the new Onus knife holder, the first step in the collaboration between prestigious cutlery manufacturer Del Ben and Emo design. The brand Del Ben sticks to simple shapes with knives and blades that are the essence of their function. The Emo team has transferred this philosophy into a product that becomes a precious shell for exclusive knives, with a memorable shape dressed with elegance.

With Onus we reached a new meaning of luxury in the premium segment of knife holders. A refined luxury that doesn't shows off or scream but that is aimed at people who love the essence of design.

Onus is an evening suit for knifes, with a simple appearance but a precious feel throughout to merge seamlessly with the contemporary kitchen. Its design communicates strength and lightness at the same time thanks to a wide front body and a thin, slim profile. Both in form and color choices, Onus incorporates features and feelings from some of the most successful products of the contemporary design era.
Last but not least a touch of tradition that enriches the whole product comes from the visible wood on the top of the knife holder.
