I just got a knife sharpener and it actually helps.

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

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
