Kershaw Cinder Pocket Knife, Small Lightweight Keychain Knife

I am obsessed with my Kershaw Cinder pocket knife! It's like a tiny superhero that I carry with me everywhere. The 1.4-inch steel blade is so sharp and durable, making it perfect for all my daily cutting needs. The stonewashed finish gives it a cool rugged look that I love. The handle is made of glass-filled nylon, which makes it super lightweight and comfortable to hold. I can't get over how convenient the liner lock is, keeping the blade securely in place. And the bottle opener and lanyard hole are just the cherry on top! It's only 0.9 ounces, so it's like it's not even there until you need it. I highly recommend this little guy to anyone looking for a reliable, versatile, and stylish pocket knife.

I was going to give this knife four stars, because I feel that you can have a small knife in a similar package that does more. However, when I was looking back over my order, I realized I paid like $10 for this knife. That is an incredible price for a pretty handy little knife. I usually carry a full size Leatherman, so that's really all I need. This is kind of a backup. And in that role, it's great. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is extremely tiny. I have it on a keychain that I also have a very tiny flashlight on. I keep this combo in a sling bag that carries a lot of other essentials for where I live, like a tourniquet, a little bottle of sunblock, ammunition, narcan, etc.

A convenient little keychain knife! I use this thing almost daily to open packages and anything else that needs a quick cut. For the price, the steel feels quality, and it fits in the hand nicely. I love having a small, easy to open, locking blade on my keychain whenever I need it. The bottle opener has been used a few times too! Great to have.

Great key chain knife. Sharp and pretty durable, nice to have on key ring in case I need to open or cut something.

I just received this little knife from Kershaw and it is now my daily use pocket knife. I love how small this is with a blade that is about a half inch long. The blade includes a nub to help you open the knife with one hand and also has a blade lock. It does not have a clip but includes a hole for a lanyard, which I am using. The blade is sharp enough for my purposes, cutting twine and opening packages. It even has a solid bottle opener. My only concern is forgetting to put this in checked baggage when I travel as I would hate to have TSA confiscate it. If that happens, though, it is easily replaceable at less than $10.

I bought this product for the third time. Not because it broke, but because I keep forgetting to take it off before going through security checkpoints lol. It's cheap enough that it's not a big deal if you need to toss it and order another one later.

Great, unique entry from Kershaw. This very small, fits on a keychain easily. The blade is short but very sharp and very functional, great to have on hand at all times if you don't EDC something bigger. Bottle opener is a bonus.

I wanted to put together a very small kit with some emergency essentials for hiking. I wanted a knife, magnesium fire starter, compass, some cordage, and a few other odds and ends to keep in a pocket in case of an emergency in the wild.I really wasn't planning on buying another knife for this-- I was planning on using a Swiss Army knife that I've had forever-- but the Cinder caught my eye. For $10 it was worth the gamble so I bought it and began evaluating it.It was fairly sharp out of the package but I spent a few minutes honing it and got it to where it will shave arm hairs. No, an emergency knife doesn't have to be this sharp, but it doesn't hurt and it's nice to have a sharp edge to cut paracord, etc.The short, slightly curved blade is very controllable for making fuzz sticks for kindling. It will also strike a decent spark on a magnesium fire starter. I also like that the blade locks into position. Since this is a knife that may see some abuse if it gets needed in an emergency, I wanted a blade that would be less likely to accidentally close.Everything else about the knife is fine. I like the option of using a lanyard, especially in an emergency. I put a couple of drops of oil on the pivot and the knife opens and closes smoothly. It's so small that it takes up very little room in my emergency kit, and it's so light that I hardly know it's there. It's a good choice if you want a knife that will be unobtrusive until it's needed.
