Cinder Pocket Knife, Small Lightweight Keychain Knife

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.

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.

Small, sharp, and durable I use this in my office for breaking down cardboard and deburring plasric.

One of the most useful things I own. Convenient to have the bottle opener on the keychain but the small blade comes in handy frequently. If they added a phillips head screwdriver head to it like the Gerber Shard has it would be perfect. Grabbing another as a back-up for when I inevitably forget to remove it from my keys and get it confiscated by TSA at the airport.

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.

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.
