Product Description
If you need a "non-scary" knife that still packs plenty of style and real-world cutting power, the Kershaw Cinder is your perfect companion. Small enough to disappear on a keychain, the Cinder is a high-performance tool designed by legendary custom knifemaker Rick Hinderer. Known for his focus on practicality, Hinderer designed the Cinder to handle the tasks you actually carry a knife for—like opening packages and breaking down boxes—without the bulk of a full-sized folder.
The 1.4-inch blade features an upswept tip that provides a surprisingly long and useful cutting edge for its size. The stonewashed finish looks great and effectively hides scratches from daily use. To solve the problem of gripping such a small knife, Hinderer engineered the handle so your hand moves forward past the pivot, allowing for a full three-finger grip and maximum control. The textured glass-filled nylon handle scales enhance your hold, while a sturdy liner lock ensures the blade stays securely open. As a final touch of utility, a heavy-duty bottle opener is built into the back end, ready to work whenever you are.
