I just got a knife sharpener and it actually helps.

After sharpening, my eyes couldn’t even tell that I was cutting an onion.

Because you have sharpened and blinded yourself......

this works because the pain is caused by an irritating gas released when you crush the onion cells and some compounds mix together and react, with a sharp knife fewer cells are crushed so there's less gas
