I think this is my fifth piece. I lost one, gave one as a gift to someone – a great little knife for everyday, small uses. Very good quality workmanship.
Kershaw Cinder 1025X Stonewash Folding Knife
Compact and highly functional, the Kershaw Cinder folding knife serves as an excellent backup blade for everyday carry (EDC).

Featuring a sheepfoot blade crafted from 3Cr13 stainless steel, the knife is enhanced with a durable stonewash finish that conceals wear effectively. Deployment is quick with a thumb stud, while a secure liner lock keeps the blade firmly engaged when open.

Kershaw is an American knife brand, founded in 1974 by Pete Kershaw in Oregon, which from the very beginning has focused on the highest quality and practical solutions for hunters, anglers, and everyday users. In 1977, the company was acquired by the Japanese Kai Group, allowing it to combine American innovation with Japanese craftsmanship. In 1998, Kershaw revolutionized the market by introducing the SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism, and in the following years won prestigious Blade Show awards for models such as the Tyrade with Composite Blade technology combining two different types of steel. The brand is also known for its collaboration with renowned knifemakers, including Ken Onion, Ernest Emerson, and Rick Hinderer, which has resulted in iconic models such as the Leek and Cryo.

Kershaw Cinder 1025X Stonewash folding knife. Unassuming, very comfortable small knife. Despite its small size, it has very good quality. The knife is sharp out of the box, perfect as a package opener.
-
Super comfortable small knife for keys. For opening packages, containers, bottles - it's suitable for everything. It opens easily with one hand, the liner lock is more than sufficient for this size.
-
A knife in keychain form is a great solution—compact, lightweight, and very practical. It takes up little space, so it easily fits with your keys and is always at hand when needed. Solid workmanship, seems durable and well thought out. Perfect for everyday use and travel.
-
I already have my second little one. One is on my keys, and the second always in my pocket. It's a great little knife. I recommend shopping at militaria.pl. Fast and always on time.
-
What a cute little thing, I have no questions. Very interesting, fits perfectly as a keychain pendant. I liked it so much that I ordered a second one. I am veery satisfied. I recommend the product as well as shopping at militaria.pl

This is already my second knife like this – I lost the first one during an overzealous airport check – it's worth keeping that in mind because we often forget what we have on our key ring… super sharp, small, the best keychain pendant.
-
Small, when folded as a keychain you wouldn't know what kind of tool it is (those in the know will know...). The steel is similar to cheap 420, but considering it will most often be just a backup blade, it should suffice. If needed, it can easily be sharpened and you can rest assured that water won't hurt it (it's stainless). And you can open bottle caps :) I recommend it!
-
Very good design for opening all types of packages. Inexpensive and decently made. If someone is looking for a keychain with a small knife function, I can recommend it.
-
I bought this knife a few years ago, so it has been thoroughly tested. It's a great knife you can carry in your pocket. Although it's not my main EDC knife, I always keep it in my pocket. I use the bottle opener all the time, and it's the knife I hand to people when I don't want to share my OTF.
-
I really like it. Small, lightweight, sharp, and solid despite its tiny size. I wear it on a leather cord around my neck as a second EDC. I recommend it
-
Handy. Sharp. Worth having as a backup.
-
Just picked it up. It's tiny, but devilishly sharp. Will be useful as a spare blade in the pocket. Well made, though I admit, could have been a bit cheaper. Anyway, the knife is worth its price
-
A very small knife that can be opened with one hand and weighs "NOTHING". Perfect for opening packages and bottles. Very well made, nice handles, lock holds, sharp. I recommend it.
-
I carry it with my keys, it's solidly made.
