KershawCinder 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 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.

This is an amazing everyday carry. It is a great little knife that is sharp enough to cut what you need and small enough to not get in the way. The blade holds it's edge really well and did not need to be sharpened for the months I had my first one or the year I had my second.My only complaint is actually part of my compliment. It is so small, I've lost a couple of them. They are probably in my car or under a dresser or desk thanks to one of our cats. If I loose this third one, I'll be getting another and hope that one day I'll find where the cats have them all hidden.

There are other tiny EDC knives like the Gerber LST ultralight (https://amzn.to/3Ko11Ni) which I own and love. But this in the only one I have found that has one-handed opening. I grab the thumb stud with my thumb, add a bit of wrist snap, and the blade is open and locked. This is a great feature for when you don't have two hands free.In terms of other issues that other reviewers mentioned:1. Yes the blade is very short, that's why it's a very small and lightweight knife. The knife is the same length closed as my Toyota key. The above-mentioned Gerber knife as a 1.6 inch long blade while this guy is only 1 inch. But for opening boxes and such the short blade works fine.2. price: I think the knife is very fairly priced. Most of my little EDC knives cost at least 15 or $20 so for the seven dollars that I paid I am quite happy.3. The blade opening in your pocket. I'm not sure how this would happen, as it takes quite a bit of force to separate the blade from the magnet inside the blade case. Perhaps there is individual variation between different knives, so I will check the other two that I bought. I checked the other two Cinders, and they have even stronger retention magnets, so even less of a problem.4. The only valid criticism is that the can opener/ Bottle opener is a little bit too short. So if you're buying this to open a lot of beers then I'd probably add a real bottle opener to your keychain. I never use a bottle opener so I didn't care about this. I might grind it off entirely.5. All three knives I purchased the blade was razor-sharp. I haven't cut open a million boxes so not sure how it will hold the blade sharpness, but I don't mind resharpening it occasionally.My Gerber LST ultralight is .6 ounces and this one is .9 ounces, not a big difference. Although I love the Gerber it has a slip blade opening, so needs two hands. For now this little Cinder will be my keychain knife. I think it is a great knife for keychain or watch pocket carry, and perhaps the smallest single hand open and close knife on the market. For seven dollars and change, you can't go wrong. I bought one for every keychain.

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.

this knife is small but once you see the quality build, sharpness and utility of the blade, and feel in your hand, you'll realize the size is a true wonder. not sure why the bottle opener isn't mentioned in the description but that is nice feature as well.

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.

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.
