Product Description
The Kershaw 1025CU Cinder is a powerhouse of micro-utility designed by the legendary Rick Hinderer. This compact, keychain-ready folder proves that a knife doesn't need to be large to be incredibly effective. By upgrading the handle to genuine copper, Kershaw has created a tool that not only offers a satisfying weight and durability but also evolves over time, developing a unique, natural patina that makes every knife one-of-a-kind.
The 1.375-inch upswept sheepsfoot blade is crafted from 3Cr13MoV stainless steel with a rugged stonewashed finish to mask scratches from daily use. Despite its miniature frame, the Cinder is engineered with Hinderer’s signature ergonomics, placing the hand forward to allow for a secure three-finger grip that provides surprising leverage for opening packages and breaking down boxes. Beyond its cutting capabilities, the Cinder features a built-in bottle opener integrated into the back of the handle and a large lanyard hole for easy attachment to any keyring. Secured by a reliable liner lock, this 1.5-ounce tool is the ultimate "carry anywhere" companion for modern life.
