Introducing the Kershaw Cinder1025CU, a compact and versatile knife with a stylish copper handle. Designed by Rick Hinderer, this mini-knife is perfect for everyday use and can be easily carried on a keychain, in a bag, or in your car. The Cinder opens smoothly with a thumb stud and locks securely with a liner lock.
The copper handle scales give the Cinder a unique and attractive appearance. Despite being slightly heavier than stainless steel or nylon handles, the small size of the Cinder makes the weight difference hardly noticeable. Over time, the copper handle will develop a beautiful patina, adding to its charm.
Don't be fooled by its size, the 1.4-inch stonewashed blade of the Cinder is incredibly useful. The upswept tip allows for precise cutting, and even those with larger hands can comfortably grip the knife by choking up past the pivot point.
In addition to its cutting capabilities, the Cinder also features a bottle opener on the back end for added convenience. The large lanyard hole makes it easy to attach the Cinder to your keychain. Despite its small and lightweight design, the Cinder packs a punch.
Upgrade your everyday carry with the Kershaw Cinder1025CU and enjoy the functionality and style it brings.
